Stephen,

thanks for articulating the strategy I hope to try out myself ;).

I think there are two different components to supporting AJAX: first,
supporting asynchronous calls, and second, supporting JSON parsing.
I'd like to try some code out on an actual site before submitting
twill to a built-in solution, however.  Any suggestions, comments,
or code that you and Uy Do contribute will be very helpful!

thanks,
