I thought about AJAX for that same reason (page doesn't have to reload, but the "heavy weight" conversion logic can reside on the server), but I have to admit I'm a bit ignorant about AJAX. How universal is the XMLHttpRequest support in modern browsers (Safari, Opera, Firefox/Camino/Mozilla, etc.)? Are we restricting support and compatibility by introducing that technology?
I don't think using ajax technology would be much of a problem. I know firefox/ mozilla, safari (2.0) and opera (7.60) and IE support it. (Slightly different implimentations, but that can be hided by a common interface). So browser support can't be much of a problem.
