You could serialise a state history as it happens, allowing your users to modify the futere state in real time and push to the always unfolding history stream. Could be great for games.

If you don't care about old browsers you could use the same connection to keep the state updated as you used to download the original state.

I built this for more-or-less standard downloading, only quicker. But, yeah, if you set a server up to feed it you could use it for lots of creative things.
