Amen. And I'm a client developer. Clients aren't for data validation, etc. That's the server's job because the server has to store it, use it, ship it off to other things.

Clients are for displaying all that data in a way a human can understand. It has people skills, damn it!

The server is the model and the controller. The client is the view, and marshals input to the controller. Doing it any other way is bananas.
