Dan,

Good point about XMLHTTPRequest, but as someone who works with dynamic content and CSS, I can tell you (and you should know this;-), getting CSS to perform as expected cross browser and cross OS is nigh impossible for dynamic content. At least it's not for the faint of heart!

That said and the rest of this discussion notwithstanding, I certainly cannot fault you for pointing out what you believe is a great 'shift.' Too bad Scott Raney, the father of Transcript/MetaCard wasn't here to applaud you for being only 9 years late:-)

His most prescient essay "The Case Against Strained Carrots" described the web services model before the term 'web services' was created-- back in 1996! Truly visionary stuff!

You are correct in that AJAX certainly has more momentum and visibility than Rev has ever had. And I imagine there are more AJAX apps, even at this early date, than Rev ones.

The Revolution secret, like the case against strained carrots, I plan to keep to myself! ;-)

your foil and your turn,

Chipp
