CFAJAX is great - but it's not a portable solution.  The transport mechanism
is a custom delimited post-format and the response is CF-generated
JavaScript.

This all works (and it's quite a nice chuck of code) but doesn't really let
you "consume a WS from XMLHttpRequest" in any way at all.

For that you really need a true SOAP serializer/deserializer in JavaScript.
Even if we extend the definition of "Web Service" to include transport
mechanisms other than SOAP it's hard to see CFAJAX as a viable solution in
JavaScript because nearly all the hard work is done at the server.

And I could be very wrong, but I took the original question to be about
accessing web services from JavaScript, not CF.  ;^)
