Flex Data Services provide rich data management and messaging capabilities. But what if you are not using a Flash client? What if you are using good old JavaScript, including Ajax type clients?

It is good idea to create this kind of technology for Ajax users. But Ben - is it really without "Flash client"? By "Flash client" I understand FlashPlayer in this case.
