I've written scripted AOs, and while I'm not familiar with the clientside AOs, I know that a scripted AO is significantly more powerful than a clientside AO on one very important point: A scripted AO can be quickly and easy be changed. Features can be added or removed. Say someone has the bright idea to add extra "one-shot" animations, such as a stumble to break up a repetitive running cycle, it can be added without much fuss. While a clientside AO built into the viewer, unless built in a way to support it, couldn't do such a thing. More support for a clientside AO wouldn't be a bad thing. But it couldn't, and probably shouldn't completely replace scripted AO.
