But SIP is not a polling protocol is it? Is there something about SIP that is more "monitor-ish" than pubsubhubbub that necessitates a new relation name? And if so, how do I determine which relation name should be used for servers that connect to Dojo clients to send notifications?
SIP uses RFC 3265 for these kinds of things. RFC 3265 allows for both polling and long-running subscriptions (although the polling isn't used anywhere near as often as the long-running subscriptions).
The intention of draft-roach-sip-http-subscribe-02 was that the "monitor" link relation was to be used for both polling *and* passive mechanisms. I don't want to get hung up too much on the term "monitor" and what it may or may not imply about who initiates the transaction that results in someone knowing about a change.
