[cgi-prototype-users] each page is really an operation

[Terrence B. <ba...@me...>]

While I'm having my philosophical catharsis, I thought I would mention
that CGI::Prototype is actually not a page-based approach to site
development. It is an operation-based approach. An operation consists
of several phases which are broken down by CGIP nicely. We have model
phases and view phases. The view phases create a page based on the
requested *operation*.

A user requests *operations* - login, add user, view user which are
materialized by model actions and feedback on success failure via the
view/page. 

If you take a look at Zanas:

he says a similar thing.
