Thanks, but I guess my question didn't get across. My best translation
of your use of the "gd" label would be "first I make the site using
standard XHTML, then I add proprietary XmlHttpRequest with a silent
capabilities test". Your link points to additional serverside
development for the split in user capabilities, which implies that the
server would need to know about clientside abilities too. But this set
of clarifications has already gone past my interest level, so.... ;-)
