Without DHTML in general and XMLHTTPRequest in particular GMail would end being just another lame webmail system. These exactly features make it my webmail of choice. Or is it a shame for car manufacturer not to provide racing car which could be driven by a blind person? While it would be nice to have accessible-plain-text-many-trips-to-the-server it should not be done at the expense of the current one, and it is up to Google to decide, do they want to provide it.
