I agree. To the extent that ArcServer provides truly interoperable  
web services (sometimes it is harder getting arbitrary SOAP client/ 
service pair talking together than it should be) you should be able  
to do a great deal.  However, it sounds like a lot of work! :)   
Probably a lot of work in ArcView too, so I guess all options should  
be considered.
