I've seen so many conflicting descriptions of the role of the controller that it's always been somewhat of a mystery to me. And to clarify a point you made, AJAX would allow a view to poll the model, but subscribing to model changes would require a "push" to the browser that is unavailable in HTTP. I like Java's AWT/Swing subscription model in order to update the views. It makes live views very easy to implement. Thanks, that’s a nice summary of the history.
