Gnip does not yet have a nifty RIA interface, but they are using XMPP as a data pipe for their social network data conversion efforts. Twitter's firehose is XMPP pubsub i believe, and is just a data pipe. I don't think the type of data is particularly relevant. Stock data is probably not much bigger than a tweet. So people are headed this direction and there are new things popping up all the time. I guess none of the examples I can think of satisfy all of your requirements, but they are certainly close. I have talked with several people privately about using BOSH for various purposes like you describe, even ones where XMPP is not needed at all. jack.
