My feeling is that a web site that only works with any single browser is broken, period. This can cause extreme pain, because one then things I want do desparately wants server push pages (only avialable in mozila derivatives).

All versions of IE and opera apparently do not handle multipart responses of any kind, let alone server push pages. Therefore I plan to imlement an inferior and *much* more complex solution which works with client pull.

I've implemented some applications useing multi-part push that appear to work for my IE customers, where are you getting the idea that it doesn't? (I haven't tried Opera)
