Hmm, I think I see how that works.  You need to pass the subject
object over the wire so the client has it, right?  And if it has a
path or link which points somewhere else in the object space, it won't
work (or won't execute all in the browser, at least)?  This may be
another argument against lexical closures - although it might be that
closures could be made to work OK.

The degradation to normal round trips might be very interesting, both
for the javascript-turned-off type cases, but also perhaps in some
low-bandwidth conditions.

Isn't it more interesting to give wheat something truly novel now,
rather than fleshing out details first?  The details won't do any good
unless wheat has some compelling advantage.

Anyway, I'll be free for hacking this Friday (22 Apr).
