If you build middle-tier components that encapsulate RV's, ultimately, if you need a web interface, you are going to need to convert the data to another format in order to get it to the UI. In this scenario, the RV is an unecessary and a non-value added layer.

You may not have the need for a web interface, but you did put out the "scale infinitely" point. Also, if you want to use OLE-DB or SP's, RV's don't scale there either...

They don't, nor does anything scale infinitely...
