I just came across this presentation: http://domscripting.com/presentations/xtech2006/
which describes a new layer/methodolgy on how ajax should be implemented.

I personally would think implementing something like this would be a step forward
and we could then argue about if mochikit or dojo or yui or none is a good implementation.

I'm not convinced that the analogy holds; to me, officially endorsing
a particular JS toolkit would be like re-wiring the template system to
favor a particular version of HTML. Just as the choice of HTML or
XHTML and which version to use is best left to a case-by-case basis,
the choice of which JS toolkit to use is best left to a case-by-case

hmm.. probably this is the point where we disagree.. which is of course 
not a bad thing.

maybe we should clarify what we mean by words like "endorse", 
"recommend", "support" etc.


and also we're probably approaching this from the wrong end (or at least 
  i).

the real question probably is:

- what would we gain by having an 'official' _javascript_ library?

if the answer is "nothing" then we don't need an official js lib.

so, is there something that django could do to make ajax easier? (except 
the server-get-get/post-and-responds-in-json)
