[TYPO3-hci] ajax and conservative skins?

[Kasper Skårhøj]

What you suggest sounds possible with MVC implemented. For 5.0 I'm  
quite certain this is the way we will go. Maybe for 4.5 we will allow  
an AJAX dependant backend (thereby moving further away from GET/POST  
and lynx and blind people etc...)
