David,

Check out: http://www.reversehttp.net/reverse-http-spec.html

It's a way to make each node be a server and a client. Built by one of our lot.

Interesting. Given this conversation extended from one of Sylvain's posts, and given that Sylvain happens to be one of the editors on the LLUP specification, and given that LLUP -- at first glance, anyway -- seems to blend nicely with the reverse-http spec linked to above, and -- just to add one more layer of "given that" into the mix -- given that LLUP is built firmly on top of both Atom and AtomPub, I've CC'd the LLUP working group as well.

For those of you wondering what LLUP is in reference to, see: http://dev.llup.org/ < I bring this up as depending on the use case, LLUP /could/ in various forms and capacities be used to manage messaging pub/sub workflows in a decentralized, heterogeneous cloud environment. In fact, an interesting and related use case provided by Tim Lynch from Cornell University can be found @ http://groups.google.com/group/llup/browse_thread/thread/76411666bb2e7542/8fd42070c72b6d62?#8fd42070c72b6d62
