+ * The basic idea is to have all periodic data updates unified here, with
+ * stats, tracking of "ajax overflows" and general-purpose error handling
+ * and callbacks and whatnot, instead of all the custom stuff that we
+ * started out with.
+ *
+ * Public interfaces:
+ * nmsData.data[name] - actual data
+ * nmsData.registerSource() - add a source, will be polled periodicall
+ * nmsData.updateSource() - issue a one-off update, outside of whatever
+ * 			    periodic polling might take place
