This is the typical Heise style just to create a new flame war.
The patent itself says nothing about XML, JavaScript or AJAX - but Heise
does.

In fact the patent is about the famous online flashsite building tool called
"pro:FX" that Balthaser created a few years ago.
You can see it on www.balthaser.com

I don't see where this relates to the AJAX approach for TYPO3 since it's all
based on flash and action script.

So keep cool ;-)
