How would you feel if Pointcast slowly backed off and increased the time period between updates, but at the touch of a key or movement of the mouse it would go back to the "knob" setting? Obviously a low volume data feed like Pointcast may not be that big a load on the net but the heuristics (which do involve human factors) could probably be applied to a lot of other things like video feeds that will be bigger bandwidth consumers.
I think this sounds fine, but I don't think you need an RFC to dictate it. This would be a competitive advantage for an application, methinks. - paul
