Yes, and related to that, I wonder if single-page view will now be the default? And if so, if the backend has a way to manage the allocation of ads for the extra-long rails in indepth stories.
(From an NYT employee who has access to the prototype but did not work on it at all.)
If there is any ad management I suspect it will be handled client-side based on interaction. Definitely lots of potential to do justice to both ads and content (and ultimately the user).
