Introducing the Twitch PubSub System

Can we have better examples for the following? [Just had to answer some questions related to it]

REF: https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/tree/master/PubSub


// Request from client to server
{
  "type": "LISTEN",
  "nonce": "44h1k13746815ab1r2",
  "data": {
    "topics": ["whispers.test_account","video-playback.lirik"],
    "auth_token": "...",
  }
}
// Response from server to client
{
  "type": "RESPONSE",
  "nonce": "44h1k13746815ab1r2",
  "error": "",
}


This should really be something more like



// Request from client to server
{
  "type": "LISTEN",
  "nonce": "44h1k13746815ab1r2",
  "data": {
    "topics": ["whispers.23161357","video-playback.23161357"],
    "auth_token": "...",
  }
}
// Response from server to client
{
  "type": "RESPONSE",
  "nonce": "44h1k13746815ab1r2",
  "error": "",
}

and a description that 23161357 = Lirik’s channel ID

Or something like on the bits page, and have a nice little box the explains each parameter name/description for the request
