The problem with using ''hiddenStructure'' is that it hides rows in a non-standard way. Whereas other websites hide data by simply not sending it out from the server<ref>Most serverswebsites use PHP or ASP to conditionally send data from the server. More advanced designs cache results so PHP/ASP scripts are only executed once for each possible outcome.</ref>, ''hiddenStructure'' defers this hiding process to the client.
