Couple of additional comments for those following along...

1. The multipart/x-mixed-replace part of the translator only affects its
ability to stream results.  Without this, it's less efficient / fast, but
still works.  You just can't use it for API calls that return large result
sets or for real-time use of individual results.  The OpenSRF API/session
support works regardless.

2. Various HTML interfaces outside of the XUL client proper (primarily ACQ
and admin UI's) use the translator.  All of these would have to be ported
to websockets before we could consider deprecation.
