Good point. Having a common prefix for all ajax related methods could be 
a big help.

I don't think we should use deprecation in a library that depends 
heavily on file size. You never know when the time has come to actually 
remove that crap, therefore it sticks there for all time. Great ugly 
example: The Java runtime enviroment (JRE). It gets bigger with every 
release, but never smaller (though this may actually change).
I think branching may hurt more at first, but help a lot to evolve the 
API while maintaining stable releases.
