Great idea. Its always good to have an abstraction layer between your
business layer/persistence and your presentation layer.
Thats exactly what we do, with great success -abstract business objects
behind a webservice, accessible by rich windows clients as easily as browser
clients. Most users of our ERP system are 'back-office' people, who should
use a friendly rich Windows client, while a handful of mobile people use it
through a browser or even a connected PDA (compact framework forms - not
PIE).
Here's a whitepaper describing some of that (plenty of topology diagrams as
well):
http://www.asplications.com.au/GenieWhitePaper.pdf.
The upcoming Indigo stuff from MS is quite similar. It assumes the
framework / CLR exists both server and client, but that business rules and
persistence lives on server, and presentation rules are on client, with Web
Services in between.
Good luck.
