The reason for thinking of ActionScript as opposed to WebSockets is that
flash is ubiquitously available in all browsers while WebSockets is
currently only available in one

This would work. But a browser to 0MQ bridge is IMHO more exciting ;) -
trying to eliminate pieces in the middle for higher thruput, lower
dependencies and higher reliability. Given that google is building an OS
around chrome ... I would hedge my bets on doing everything from the
browser. Chromium already has an XMPP implementation - heralding the role of
a browser in days to come :)
