Bollocks to this. It's this sort of nonsense
that leads to object databases and the uselessness that they
represent. An object should be able to be represented in a number of
different ways, and it cannot possibly predict the ways that it
could be represented. That's the whole point behind the MVC model,
and saying that an object provides its own UI breaks MVC
significantly.

I'm not sure I agree with most of the rest of the list, either.
