There are times when data freedom is not only applicable, but needed. And there is also an Ajax pattern which makes it possible. It's called Host-Proof Hosting. The definition of the "Zero Knowledge Web Application" put forth by Barulli is based on HPH, but I'm afraid instead of improving the pattern, it introduces a trust fallacy.

See http://passpack.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/the-trust-fallacy-in-zero-knowledge-web-application/

There's an ongoing discussion. Barulli has yet to reply to the criticism.
