           Summary: I need some way of recovering from longer but still
                    temporary failures, without requiring a complete page
                    refresh, and without requiring every all events of
                    interest to be rebound, or otherwise handled
                    differently from any other event. This isn't an issue

Comment:
I need some way of recovering from longer but still temporary failures,
without requiring a complete page refresh, and without requiring every all
events of interest to be rebound, or otherwise handled differently from any
other event.

This isn't an issue with the WebSocket and XMLHttpRequest API's, as those
interfaces already require one to implement an event passing scheme on top,
making it trivial to replace the underlying WebSocket or XMLHttpRequest. 
While such a scheme could also be implemented on top of EventSource, it seems
silly to stack    an different event source scheme on top of something called
"EventSource".
