As defined by Dictionary.com:

sub·vert (səb-vûrt’) Pronunciation Key


tr.v. sub·vert·ed, sub·vert·ing, sub·verts

1. To destroy completely; ruin: "schemes to subvert the liberties of a great community" (Alexander Hamilton).
2. To undermine the character, morals, or allegiance of; corrupt.
3. To overthrow completely: "Economic assistance … must subvert the existing … feudal or tribal order" (Henry A. Kissinger). See Synonyms at overthrow.

This issue surfaces when I was going through AJAX Google Calendar Reader, there’s a link which concerns about security that leads me to the Chaos Communication Congress site and to this paper. Its been slashdotted.

This is the primary reason why not to use AJAX early on in building your applications. We all should be building web application with graceful degradation in mind. AJAX is just a plus, not essential but a bonus. And mind where you use it.
