Why not have the visualization tool use the NSI query interface? After 
all, it is what it is supposed to be used for. I dislike the idea of 
starting to build a parallel infrastructure for a task which is supposed 
to be solvable with the NSI protocol. Sure, the polling nature of query 
and the high entrance bar for SOAP+WSDL is probably not ideal, but I think 
we should at least try to build something using it, before we start on the 
parallel infrastructure. If it doesn't work or becomes to convulated or 
complex, perhaps we should reconsider parts of the protocol. If we cannot 
use NSI, who can?
