I think you've hit on what has been driving this discussion.  Some 
people want to use "watch" for auto-downloading, but others want to use 
it for on-line reading, as a way of indicating that a thread is worth 
watching.

Those two methods of using Pan may or may not need separate supporting 
technologies; but it's important to realize that people's requests are 
being driven by two completely different needs.
