Nice briefing Scott, would just add a few things if you don't mind much... - html 5 is more than just ajax (that through rest interface is a big part of the data transport though) - use a web-framework, as annoying and restrictive those might be at some point will still give you most of the boiler plate - give node.js a try, it might just work for your case and can use some of the JS front-end guys to help exposing REST services, add features like authentication (AD/LDAP, facebook, google, ...) and push notification to only name a few - webspeed doesn't necessarily equal 'classical', that can well be used for REST services so if you have it in house and have experience with it might worth not to trash it away - local storage, might be useful if offline mode is required... some framework's datasources have that functionality already HTML, JS, CSS might look frightening but as it turned out this is still the only standard we have so better overcome your fear and get to it... no other proprietary solution proved valid so far and eventually faded away (flash, silverlight, ...) so I would stay away jumping in bandwagons unless there is a standard set-up upfront but we already have one so will expect this to still be HTML 
Have fun, take the leap and start the adventure.
