but for that we need to toss the current way for the browser to id itself to the server, and rather have something where the browser can specifically tell the server what features it can or cant support.

yes, because accepts has never provided much "real world" useful information, everyone builds their own information based on the user-agent.

Benson, I completely agree with you. Ajax is awesome, but it's like salt. Too much of it will make your steak unbearably... salty!
Like Digg for example. Used to be a great site, but slowly adding ajax to EVERYTHING, now it's incredibly slow on most computers (loading of comments will often just "crash").
