I didn't spend much time looking at comet, but I have been 
looking into BOSH and have determined it will work for us. It 
depends on XMPP though (which we were already doing) so it may 
not be the best fit. Since we've already got XMPP we chose to 
use BOSH for pushing page updates to users. Out Cat app (or 
model within Cat) is just an XMPP client (or will be when I 
finish that part of project). Have a look at Strophe for 
javascript implementation of BOSH; makes the whole thing pretty easy.

Note, XMPP is not just for chat; it's great for all sorts of 
live/push updates.
