I am not sure if you agreed with me or not on that one. In case you did not, to clarify: I think that the view should handle all the logic for presenting the data.

The View logic should cover how to make them into rows, colors, highlighting.
The display should really only know what data is coming back. From then on it should have the responsibility of making it pretty and paginating and such.
