Quick point: the alleviation of polling would go for authz status as well as to certificate delivery.

A certificate order that has 10 domains needs to poll for the status of all 10 of those domains’ authorizations as well as the certificate issuance. “ACME/bidi” would remove all 11 of those needs to poll.

Thanks for those who have given this suggestion their consideration. I don’t mean to “gum up the gears” for the main ACME work, but as I’ve been writing ACME clients the polling stuff has stuck out to me like a sore thumb.

It’s worth noting, too, that concerns about overhead may be alleviated if we do get a usable WebSocket-over-HTTP/2 implementation. Or, maybe someone will expose an SCTP endpoint, or a raw TCP endpoint that implements a simple message-boundary layer. I think the question of pure-message, bidirectional transport is more relevant than a specific transport implementation.
