By way I want to clarify why I'm bordered by the term 'ajax framework'. I don't mean everyone experimenting and building rich web applications are bonehead. I am bordered by some business and HR people claiming they are building on top of the ajax framework. They don't seems to understand ajax is not a concrete term and the technology is in early stage. Coupling it with the word 'framework' that usually mean something well established is somewhat contradictory.
I believe that the DHTML tricks we are doing are too much toil for most people. And libraries like the Prototype you've mentioned would emerge to make this more manageable. Ideally we would have a standard higher level standard web application definition language to argument HTML and DOM. But that would face many politics and browser upgrade inertia. Two years ago I would worry it would be a Microsoft defined standard. Today plurality seems to back in the picture. I am very encouraged to see internet giants like Google and Yahoo are taking alternative browsers seriously.
