Who says I want to interfere?  I just want to know if the client 
disconnects.  If you're managing some session-related objects tied to an 
unreliable client (the browser), a callback like this is useful to 
trigger clean-up facilities.

I know Jetty has a feature like this and a number of people have found 
it useful, especially for push applications.
