Current Concerns with Ajax

Our fellow Ajaxian Michael Mahemoff, has written about his current concerns with Ajax.

His main concerns are:

  • Accessibility
  • Documentation: it is getting better for Prototype, Dojo, and the rest
  • Lack of good cross domain option: Are you jealous that Yahoo! can put in a crossdomain.xml in for Pipes and Flash API users can do what they want with it?
  • Cross-browser programming is still painful
  • Comet (HTTP Streaming) is becoming really important, but is still out of reach for the typical Ajax programmer. Too resource-intensive, too many issues to overcome, especially in the server.

Do you agree with these? Do you have other concerns?
