And here I thought I was being dense.

Seems like it adds data that would normally be included in a poll response to requests that were going to be made anyway, and possibly adds requests that were normally going to be made independently to long polls, though I'm not sure about any of this.

If I am right, would be nice to explain this and how it compensates if there is not a "regular" request within a certain period of time. And well, to basically explain WTH REST hooks are....

Is the most important piece of information really: "REST Hooks itself is not a specification, it is a collection of patterns that treat webhooks like subscriptions"? That seems of tertiary importance at best. How about telling us what REST Hooks are and how they are that - not what they aren't from a marketing perspective.

This is targeting a technical audience. It shouldn't so drastically underestimate its readers.
