Some types of things that people commonly do, such as providing treeview navigation 
tools, are inefficent when a roundtrip is required for each action.  And then - unless 
there's something I don't know, likely since I'm not really a website designer - the 
back button takes you back through navigations which is really undesirable.

Are you aware of techniques to detect when a client has scripting enable and adapt in 
the cases where it is not?  Take the treeview scenario as a sample problem.
