I looked at MochiKit and studied the Async package, but perhaps I didn't understand it. I only saw ways for the client to sneak HTTP REQUESTSs to the server behind the user's back, but nothing for the server to reach out and shove something into the client whenever the server, not the client, decided it was time. I'd rather not have the client polling the server for said data with HTTP REQUESTs.
I'm pretty sure the fundamental AJAX pattern is that you send XMLHttpRequests on some event, either a timer (so it polls) or a user action (e.g. an on-click handler). I've never seen the pattern of a persistent connection ... if you have that, you may as well just write a traditional socket client/server application and deal with scalability there. :)
