mmmhhh... k.
but wouldnt it be better to determine if a keepalive is needed and to implement it for the cases when it IS needed? for example you could say the client to keep alive the connection, if a file is being edited, but to NOT to keep alive if its really idle. i think that would be better than treaten also a "good" user like a "bad" user...
