*eh* Petruchio was working on a streaming XML server to replace the current polling XML ticker. It'd be nice in the sense that those of us who generate traffic 24/7 (albiet not much) could get a socket connection and not do continuous polling. I'm told that it'd make a nice dent in the server load. That was before the recent upgrades though so perhaps that changed.

Anyhow, things spring forth from ideas because are perl monks. We create.
