make a javascript /html5 canvas that sends out through javaudp messages about the data being edited. or better yet skip the htmlhavascript and just do it with java.

That's nice feature of Pd-l2ork.
If you want a notification when using tabwrite/etc., well, when those
objects receive a message to update the array, just manually send
a bang to "arrayname_changed" when this happens.
Yeah, you're totally right. If I'd build a self-enclosed patch, this wouldn't be an issue. The goal here is to create an abstraction able to keep an instance of a table in sync over network. I would like to avoid to design it in a way, that forces the user of the abstraction to actively notify it about changes. And since I also want to track manual edits, I need some kind of a watchdog anyway. So I still go for the watchdog solution, until the Pd-l2ork features make into Pd.
Can you guarantee that [tabsend~] will never be sending to that array?
Good point. The abstraction is actually designed and optimized to cover sporadic changes in parts of an array. It cannot and should not be used to transmit full audio streams over network. I put some arbitrary limits: Detection for changes occurs only every 100ms, the maximum size of the table to be synchronized is 2048 elements.
