Hi Frans,

it may be a conclusion of the other discussion. But that doesn't assure,
that those, who do the job in practice do already understand this.

I have the contrary impression. At least there are no signals from them,
that they have understand that the question is not xajax vx. prototype,
but that the question is serverside logic vs. clientside logic and that
the measure must be, that you can turn off JS without loss of the
functionality for the sake of accessibility and clean programming.

We are still far away from the end of the journey in this point.
