I too do not buy this argument. It's like saying that the answer to scaling is to build smaller websites. There a instances where documents will be large enough that sending partial updates will be beneficial and I think the sooner we embrace this fact this the better. The only problem we face is that of standardisation, everything else is a distraction from the real issue. -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater
