Darin,
I understood the point. There are times when you can't have a full blown flex app for many reasons and the solution you outlined would have some nice benefits over plain javascript for doing data access. Don't think that I was dismissing it. I happen to be really excited about flex being a big part of the future of RIA's and was letting some of that enthusiasm out with my tongue in cheek comment. Right now I think I am in some sort of 'honeymoon' phase with flex and haven't seen enough of the inevitable warts to temper that enthusiasm :).
