What really needs to take place (and it is starting to happen, but slowly) is allowing site owners to define what is important to them on the "page" by a series of events and attribution (or accreditation) of events by the Visitor or set of visits.

Even in the most dynamic environments though we don't have enough of a common ground with statistics - whether page views, visits, visitors, or otherwise. Maybe a 'statistics standard' should be in place? Exactly, moreso in an ajax environment where pages are literally irrelevant.

Page Views, as you know, were born out the fact that a "hit" was an overinflated measurement from the days of log-based file applications. Page Views should always be used in conjunction with Visits and Visitors in order to understand depth of site visits or visitors by certain segments. Page Views are increasingly (and quickly) becoming irrelevant in the face of new web technologies that allow sites better user experience (like ajax) but are no longer page views, but an event or series of events.
