Tim Bray: Hey, that’s my TAXI!

On his ongoing blog, Sun Microsytems Web-god and XML godfather Tim Bray looks at The Real AJAX Upside. And guess what–it’s the servers, stupid (well, Tim would never say “stupid”). He also points out that he outlined a very similar architecture to AJAX, called TAXI, in 2001.

Sure, AJAX takes the load off of servers, Tim. And it creates weblications almost as snappy as Windows XP applications on a Pentium II. But what about the page views? The poor, forgotten, page refreshes?
