It is IMHO a pretty impressive piece of work. I suppose one
might do it without javascript (HTML, CSS and image maps?)
but I doubt you could make it as easy to use or do a better
job of providing access to the data.
My own opinion is that once good AJAX toolkits are established
and have had a chance to mature that this will become a preferred
method of implementation for many apps. Existing toolkit examples are:
SAJAX http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/
ZIMBRA http://www.zimbra.com/community/ajaxtk_download.html
DOJO http://dojotoolkit.org/
ATLAS http://atlas.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabid=47
Using a REST architecture with AJAX to build a responsive front end
has some real legs. The vast majority of people are going to like apps
like zillow.com and so the security people will just have to catch up.
