GWT (Google Web Toolkit) and YUI (Yahoo User Interface library) both
use AJAX technology, but they have very different approaches.
GWT compiles pure java code to javascript executable code, letting you
ignore (at least this is what they promise) that the final code will
run in a browser.
YUI is a library of utilities and UI controls to use as building
blocks for javascript interfaces.

I second this. This would also greatly benefit the implementation of
the accessible interface I wrote about before, as it could be built on
the same API.
