Sucks :) 1 and 2 are completely covered by Ajax technologies. JS can push information to your PHP scripts (user input, status information, whatever). PHP in turn can return as much information -- including whether PHP's task was successful. Additionally, JavaScript can do polling already, it's just a big loop. But it also does event-driven based on user input/timers so it's not lacking anything. JavaScript can already be desk-top-like, the only difference is that the browsers all have their own quirks, and due to the stateless nature of the Web the state must be maintained both in JavaScript and in PHP. This is just business as usual.
