 * used to mediate for these connection types in order to provide a stable
 * interface.
 *
 * extensions modules may be loaded (eg "dojox.cometd.timestamp", that use
 * the cometd._extendInList and cometd._extendOutList fields to provide functions
 * that extend and handling incoming and outgoing messages.
 *
 * By default the long-polling and callback-polling transports will be required.
 * If specific or alternative transports are required, then they can be directly
 * loaded. For example dojo.require('dojox.cometd.longPollTransportJsonEncoded')
 * will load cometd with only the json encoded variant of the long polling transport.

FIXME: TODOC: this info should be part of the relevant functions and/or overview so
the parser can find it.

transport objects MUST expose the following methods:
	- check
	- startup
	- sendMessages
	- deliver
	- disconnect
optional, standard but transport dependent methods are:
	- tunnelCollapse
	- tunnelInit

Transports SHOULD be namespaced under the cometd object and transports MUST
register themselves with cometd.connectionTypes

here's a stub transport defintion:

cometd.blahTransport = new function(){
	this._connectionType="my-polling";
	this._cometd=null;
	this.lastTimestamp = null;

	this.check = function(types, version, xdomain){
		// summary:
		//		determines whether or not this transport is suitable given a
		//		list of transport types that the server supports
		return dojo.inArray(types, "blah");
	}

	this.startup = function(){
		if(dojox.cometd._polling){ return; }
		// FIXME: fill in startup routine here
		dojox.cometd._polling = true;
	}

	this.sendMessages = function(message){
		// FIXME: fill in message array sending logic
	}

	this.deliver = function(message){
	}

	this.disconnect = function(){
		// send orderly disconnect message
	}

	this.cancelConnect = function(){
		// cancel the current connection
	}
}
cometd.connectionTypes.register("blah", cometd.blahTransport.check, cometd.blahTransport);
