I wish more people would clue in to this simple fact! The stuff about RIA is good too. You think too hard, Dave. ;-) The key point you expose in this post is that design is based on context.

That is where the application context comes in. Low latency, ease of use, visual appeal, usefulness etc all add to the feeling of an application that might help make it more rich. @james yes I have been thinking about it since may ;)

While you can have "richness" in your UI while still doing page turns, we've definitely built entire Ajax applications that never turn.
