Hi John, Definitely. I would even venture that *every* action should have a DOM equivalent. We are already able to peform rebuilds, and so on, but if we had send, for example, then we really would have a 'standard' form of Ajax. I'd also suggest that many of the XPath functions would be useful, such as being able to get the current index from a repeat.
