I agree, multipart/x-mixed-replace is a strange content type for streams of messages. From a functional standpoint it does not matter, Alex and I simply want something that can provide a stream of messages from the server.

Yes. I was suggesting multipart/x-mixed-replace because it's nearest to a de-facto standard currently. It works (modulo connection close notification issues) on Firefox for text content and is only a bug or 2 away from working correctly in Safari.

Obviously, I'm not opposed to something better, and since this would be a JS API no matter what, some level of divergence is tolerable while "better" gets deployed.
