SWX : A good way to start an argument

I have put this post together as a way to keep track of the debate over the recently released SWX. For anyone who hasn't been following along SWX is an alternative technique for loading data into Flash applications. The idea being that the data is placed into an swf server-side and loaded into the Flash application that needs the data. The idea was developed by Aral Balkan. It's definitely an interesting idea worthy of everyones consideration. But Patrick Mineault started the ball rolling with SWX : A bad idea and now we have the makings of a full on debate (I will continue to add entries to this list if and when they appear).
