But I dunno, I guess it could work. Personally I generally don't like writing interfaces that _only_ work via javascript, which is what that approach would result in. I prefer writing an interface that works with plain HTML, with some AJAX on top, but degrading fine if there is no JS. But that's not the approach you are talking about taking, and apparently you are not alone!
In truth I had AJAX on my brain from another (gracefully degrading) area of the project, and it was late at night; but upon later brain reboot, I realized that AJAX is not necessary for what we want to do. And regarding Mike Taylor's earlier comment about VuFind and Blacklight, I'll have a look at how much we can peel off of VuFind. I don't think we're equipped to consider a non-PHP solution at this point.
