Interesting. This isn't 100% new idea about AJAX but pretty darn close. I have only seen squeaks and sqwaks from a few people who are in the Web server business but not much else:
My opinion I would think folks haven't done enough apps to know what is what and the only people saying much are going to be the Web2.0 folks themselves (unlikely to own up to it quite yet) or the few folks like these sitting at an interesting vantage point to see lots of application and site efforts in conjunction with acceleration, caching, compression, etc. knowledge. Anybody else seen similar postings, thoughts, papers? It does concern me a bit given how I have seen polling abused in JS.
