Robert, I am with you. Ian mentioned wanting the javascript to be agnostic about the back end (ie work for servers in any python framework and even ones in other languages). I think the same should be true for the front end. The server should not be producing special output for a javascript front end. Instead the server should have a standard RESTful API that any front end tool can use.
One thing I have found is that when you have a good RESTful api to the server it becomes much much easier to script the server. If the server spurts javascript you lose this ability. If the server is RESTful then frontends in flash or whatever are just as possible.
