Mike, this is an extraordinary idea. I'm still working out exactly how I
can implement it into my current projects, but this could very well
change the way I use JavaScript in heavy AJAX environments. This allows
me to use true AJAX (as opposed to AHAH) while still maintaining the
flexibility of making asynchronous calls to update HTML snippets. The
beauty I see is that I don't need to write one large library that
contains each and every JS call I'll make in the lifetime of a page.
Instead, I only have to include the relevant code for the particular
call that has just been made. Plus, using a MVC framework and templating
engine, the HTML and JS can be cleanly written together with well-formed
XML documents.
Thank you. This is great.

Subject: [jQuery] Taconite Plugin - New and Improved!
I've just rewritten my Taconite Plugin and added some pretty cool
features. If you're not familiar with Taconite, it's an easy way to
effect multiple client-side updates with the results of a single ajax
call. With this latest version there is absolutely no code required
to process command documents returned from the server. The plugin
detects taconite responses and automatically processes them for you.
Other changes:
- Available commands now include almost everything in the jQuery API
- Vastly improved logging/debug support
- Fully extensible
Full details and examples can be found at:

PS: For anyone using my old xmlExec plugin, this is a drop-in
replacement.
