I've mixed web requests with an architectural pattern to more easily illustrate what bothers me in the concept as a whole. You're saying: "The collection of widgets in the browser are the view" - then I rephrase: what if there is no 'browser' in a human scense? What if it's another robot connecting to the service? If JSON and HTML are the representation of state, then 'a message' or 'DTO' is a transport for state representation. So where does 'a view' come in place then? You've confused me even more with your answer.

The program/robot connecting to the service would presumably manipulate the model directly - why would it need a view?
