This seems like something that would be ideal to layer on top of a HyBi/"Server Initiated
HTTP" transport.  It doesnt sound like something that everyone using duplex HTTP would want.
Whether or not the conversation about this possible protocol belongs here, I truly do not

which was the question I interpretted as lying at the heart of Apples and Orangutans.
