You could just always have a feedback panel on your page and if it
doesn't have anything to show, it'll just be invisible.  Then, if
something goes wrong, you just set an error-level message and it'll
show up on your feedback panel (don't forget to add the feedback panel
to your ajax response and tell it to output its markup id :).
