In fact Guus was right, 'polling' only limits the time between sending
two polling ('empty') requests:

"If the client sends two consecutive empty requests within a period
shorter than that specified by the 'polling' attribute in the session
creation response, then the connection manager SHOULD terminate the HTTP
session and return an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error to the client."

In normal (non-polling) mode, the 'wait' period is negotiated to be long
enough that the 'polling' attribute is not relevant.
