I'm sure I've forgot something, but what if client A tells the plugin to
poll key X. The plugin will then keep track of which keys have been
requested on a per-client basis and poll those keys. If client A then
tells the plugin to stop polling key X, it will remove the key from the
list of client A, and stop polling that key if there are no other
'subscribers'.

If all clients only get to know their own keys, the only attack I can
think of is based on the time it takes from you subscribe to the first
message arrives. If this takes very little time, you can assume that
someone else is already subscribed to that key.

The above could of course be combined with some sort of login so the
plugin could remember subscriptions on a per-user basis rather than a
per-client basis.
