I love the clean client API, e.g. the use of ETags with long-polling.

In some ways it reminds me of our LiveResource protocol (http://liveresource.org). It's still a work in progress, but maybe we can consolidate ideas. It'd be cool if an LR client could be pointed at an Nchan resource.

Interesting, I'll read through this. Nchan code is quite modular, so it would be pretty easy to add some kind of negotiation like this. Let's talk more.

For reference, here's the old document I wrote for the long-polling protocol back in '09: https://pushmodule.slact.net/protocol.html
