I guess where I am getting at is, we have RESTful APIs, which will be
called by code running in the Web Browser. Yes, I am suggesting that we go
back to the old AJAX based UI model we had, but without the pain of XSLT
(in the old model).

FE = jquery + HTML+ (Jaggery?)
BE= RESTful APIs (Jaggery?)

FE  <--- JSON --> BE
