Notes:

• The following documentation has been created based on looking at the Orbited.js Javascript file and the orbited/transports/ directory on the server. This may need to be cleaned up as the JS and server are changed.
• The differences between Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are unclear (by looking at the code).
