I agree, in case when there would be MG server installed you would want
to go trough MG to access data.

I am interested of having http and fdo access to data without MG server
because I see many use cases for it.
To publish data in html from fdo source, create html form to search
data, enable google search on it, publish it via kml,... we would not
need MG server functionalities.

For me I would like to keep core services in the server and have the 
web-tier supply a number of interfaces to those core services. Adding
FDO to 
the web-tier would blur this significantly. Also it in would mean the
web 
tier would need to have configuration for data connections, connection 
pooling, joins, calculated fields, and a whole host of other things that
the 
server already does. Why have that in two places?
