sounds like iframes again.

  Sort of. What they're describing has a lot of server-side bits going on to make it all work. At least, as described. Rendering most of the page immediately and then leaving the connection open to shove more through is more server-push than the standard ways of doing this.

    yep. I think you'd be better off with http pipelining and iframe or ajax based solution. At least that's transparent in terms of existing protocols. Of course there's a lot more server-side and client-side work going on to support facebook's implementation here. They've essentially invented some crazy way of packaging multiple requests together but hiding that inside a broken html document. If server push is the destination they I might have thought that websockets was a cleaner way of achieving it. I don't think server-push is the destination though in this case.
