The EventQueue is one communication channel between the LL viewers and 
the simulators. It implements the concept of long-poll often used on the 
Web -- a hack, as far as I'm concerned; clients should use long-lived 
TCP connections for doing those kinds of things instead of starting new 
ones every N seconds.
The EventQueue communication channel is put in place using a capability.

And yes, in my view the EventQueue, as it exists, belongs entirely in LL 
space, since it's highly unlikely that any other client will use it.
