Dan,
Like I said in my reply to Joe, my head hurts of all the JS framework
choices :-) I'd like us to design a service that can be integrated as
a data layer into the most of the leading frameworks... (if this is
even possible...) In this respect your experience with Spry and other
things JS may be helpful to us. So feel free to jump on the
discussion, that I hope will continue on dev.
