The most common form of "AJAX" -- using XMLHttpRequest in JavaScript --
is transparent to the server: the server sees it as a normal HTTP request.
In such a case, the server needs _no_ special support for AJAX.
Next most common is long polling (of which Comet is an example, I
believe) which, again, places no special needs on the server.
The reason AJAX is so powerful is just that -- it's leveraging existing
HTTP, and doesn't require anything special from the server.
