Hi, some really interesting stuff coming out of this.  Looks cool!

Something I had been pondering recently (I started using a cell phone 
with imap idle support), was a previous poster mentioning the huge 
increase in battery life from turning off the radio for as long as 
possible. It appears that just turning on the radio (wifi or 3G) 
consumes much more energy than the transmitting of a few bytes of data 
after it's on.  In particular synchronising certain types of infrequent 
transmissions may have a dramatic increase in battery life for mobile 
devices - I'm thinking mainly of the NOOPs when the connection is idling

Is this something that could be implemented with the current 
architecture?  Are there other types of application where synchronising 
"stuff" happening to multiple connections from the same client could be 
helpful?

Just a thought...
