I spend much of my working life translating a clients business processes 
into something that can run on a computer and the trend is now more than 
ever away from a strictly web based process and towards systems that are 
completely independent of delivery mechanism.

So, where as a few years ago we had 'we gotta have a web site because 
our competitors have a web site' now we have 'we need a system that can 
implement our business and deliver our business value over multiple 
communication channels'

So as well as a web site we often provide one or more of, a mobile 
interface, a social media interface delivering targeted updates to the 
likes of twitter, farcebook etc. an XML RSS feed, an interactive XML 
based catalogue and recently a way of delivering business value via web 
TV. We also provide interfaces to existing legacy systems and machine 
interfaces to allow JIT supplier order fullfilment, shop floor intranet 
access via hand held devices, POS systems etc etc. Only last week I was 
asked about a 'Virtual Worlds' interface, Second Life and suchlike. I 
had a second life account for a while but got so absorbed that I started 
to neglect my earthly one :-(

I try to design our systems to be completely isolated from both 
persistence mechanism and delivery mechanism

What I inevitably end up with is a slightly less that perfect decoupling 
but I like to think that eventually, given the appearance of a truly 
scalable way to persist entire Object trees I will be able to produce a 
business system that will be completely decoupled from earthly 
considerations like UI and database

Not sure how moving anything to the client will be of any interest to us 
in the future but never say never ... websockets look interesting however.

Client side business logic simply isn't an option AFAICS
