Could someone please explain the actual point of doing this as opposed to
just sending multiple requests as per the status quo?
Eg why do:
1. init
2. search+sort
3. present
rather than:
1. init
2. search
3. sort (after you know that the search has actually -succeeded-)
4. present
It seems that then the next logical step in the progression is:
1. init+search+sort+present (ala HTTP etcetc.)
Thanks,
Rob
