After seeing a demo of DataClas developed RodPaddock [JVP actually demoed this to me] and Rick Strahl's Business object framework classes, you would be totally blown away at the effectiveness of SPT especially in a disconnected world [e.g., internet apps]. However, this method of data handling is not limited to stateless apps. IMO, the way these frameworks handle data is light years ahead of the way data is handled with local or remote views.

If you ever get a chance get to a DevCon or anywhere else where any of these 2 are showing off their products, I encourage you to talk to them about it.
