[cgi-prototype-users] each page is really an operation

[Terrence Brannon]

While I'm having my philosophical catharsis, I thought I would mention
that CGI::Prototype is actually not a page-based approach to site
development. It is an operation-based approach. An operation consists
of several phases which are broken down by CGIP nicely. We have model
phases and view phases. The view phases create a page based on the
requested *operation*.

A user requests *operations* - login, add user, view user which are
materialized by model actions and feedback on success failure via the
view/page. 

If you take a look at Zanas:

  http://search.cpan.org/~dmow/Zanas-5.5.16/Zanas.pm

he says a similar thing.

Yeah, even though I call them page objects in my head, I'm really
thinking of operations, selected by the dispatcher, with each operation
able to stay here to redo a step, or go somewhere else to continue
in the interaction.
