timtowdi, but, imo, using a template for ajax fits in very well with
the rest of the design and philosophy. An ajax call is like any other
call to the server, just done different on the client side. For the
server, it is like any other call. Using a template would allow you to
format the data the way you want it, or send it so it can be parsed by
client side functions properly and easily.
