Ah, neat.  But then I'm confused. The spec you linked to (http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) does distinguish, and there it seemed that only the client could send notifications.

Thanks. The context is that I'm trying to see what I need to change to use your library.
I have code in which the server responds with progress information as it processes a query.  For example

-> (id=xyz) Compute \pi to 15 decimals
<- (id=xyz, progress) 10% done
<- (id=xyz, progress) 60% done
<- (id=xyz, response) 3.141592653589793

The same lambda gets invoked three times, twice with 'progress and a message, and once with 'done and a number.
Is there a way to model this is json-rpc.el?

Thanks!
Clément.
