One thing to keep in mind however is that it often takes much
*more* overhead on the server to determine a state change
that to report a simple status upon request.

Issuing events can make the server much more complicated. While
there may be more bandwidth the cost/benefit is not entirely 
black and white from a implementation perspective.
