You should read this article form Martin Fowler: http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html

It has an excellent analysis about GUI architectures. This problem is not new and as such, there are already proposals to solve it. Every proposal has his pros and cons. It is a shame that we prefer to immediately "invent" our solutions instead of first looking to the past and check how it has been solved. A lot of people has told me that is not important to know the how and why things work in order to be a good developer, but this is exactly what happen when you have a lot of developers that don't understand the fundamentals

Exactly, that is one of the reasons why I started to work on this: http://mvc.givan.se/

Very nice, I think you should include some Sequence Diagrams to explain the differences between them :-)
Thanks for the pointer!
