Many AJAX and image-map interfaces wouldn't mean much outside a graphical
interface that displays the pretty pictures and maps how the user interacts
with them back to the server. Evernote, for example, would be easier to
render to the user and mount as a filesystem than Google maps. I'm just
wondering whether it seems enough without good support for the latter kind
of (currently) browser-based interaction.
