When I think of "comet" I think of "something that gives my apps the ability 'push' to browsers [even if it's really long polling under the hood]." Did I miss the browser integration story here, or are we calling all asynchronous apis "comet" now?


Yeah, we didn't get a chance to change that headline before the project leaked out there. The next two phases of the project will get higher-level and build out our "real" goal: a bitchin' comet framework.

But you're right, it doesn't have much to do with comet at this point.
