otoh, back to the future... pointcast.com! My current version 1.5x is pull.
Version 2.0 that is in alpha and not released will be push (and allow for offline reading, like on a laptop on plane, plus a few more neat features).

Raghu/Frank, You are very right in saying that it is a real fun participating in a discussion where architects bring out all different aspects of the problems and solutions with the trade-offs. Now coming back to the topic in hand - 1. I agree with you about the applet route (and its consequences). Bit I have to rule it out initially itself as the client is not fine with applet (again due the consequences you already discussed). 2. They are neither ok with using any other standard or custom application protocol over TCP/IP apart from HTTP. I'm having a real hard time in convincing them that they are aspiring for something impossible unless some not so elegant technology like pushlet (according to me) is used for achieving pull based server over http.
