[vos-d] Thinking about Javascript

[Peter Amstutz]

Well, one of the big ideas for s5 will be better multi-protocol support 
so having useful XML-RPC/SOAP/JSON/* bindings is feasable.  On the 
browser side you would have a minimal javascript VOS stack to talk to 
the server.  So yea, you want to keep the browser side as lightweight as 
possible, and do most of the translation in a server module.
