Reading up on WebSockets

I've been reading more about the new APIs that are part of HTML5, or are at least lumped into the HTML5 buzz. Today's reading is from Google's HTML5Rocks site, Introducing WebSockets: Bringing Sockets to the Web. I can see that this has a lot of potential. I think there are a couple of products I've worked on recently that do a lot of low-level asynchronous polling. Sadly, WebSockets will be disabled in Firefox 4 starting with beta 8. Let's hope that spec can be amended quickly to solve the proxy server issue that seems to be at the heart of this issue.

More clutter isn't free. In fact, more clutter is a permanent shift, a desensitization to all the information, not just the last bit.
