I can now see your reasoning and agree with you, but for one
exception: at the end of the day I am of the opinion that the server
side programmer should be doing less than 5% of Javascript coding for
any given application, and even then it should only be because of a
special circumstance.  The cool thing is that this reality isn't far
fetched.
