Tim, I guess the issue for us is that we want to give our clients as rich a UI as possible both in Windows and the Web and if we focus on degradation, we may have to compromise on the richness of the UI. If you try to use the Google word processor or the Google spreadsheet without scripting enabled, they do little if anything at all. But if you have scripting enabled, they give you a very rich UI similar to a conventional desktop application. This is the type of user interface experience we are looking for in our Web applications, however, it means that graceful degradation is probably out.

Subject: Re: [jQuery] unobtrus Reduce risk by not putting all your eggs in one basket. Eliminate risk by building a damn good basket, and putting all your eggs in it. What do you and your team consider to be a damn good basket? Reliance on a certain environment creates the risk of a single point of failure: if one of things is not there, the whole app goes to pot. Using OUJS-and, for that matter, using every other technology unobtrusively-means that if one component fails, the whole system does not necessarily fail; it degrades.
