Yes, exactly.

XMLHttpRequest will be sending other types of events than ":action",
such as ":refresh", ":update" ... whatever makes sense.

The event handler methods will respond with new response types that
will be capable of sending back text, html and json responses to
accomplish various things on the client side.

The design of events and mixins in T5 were guided by needs of these use-cases.

Howard would you mind sharing some more thoughts on this sentence
found on the request processing doc:

"In cases where the event type is not the default, "action", it will
appear between the nested component id and the event context, preceded
by a colon. Example: "/example/foo.bar:magic/99" would trigger an
event of type "magic". This is not common in the vanilla Tapestry
framework, but will likely be more common as Ajax features (which
would not use the normal request logic) are implemented."

What's the actual meaning of "which would not use the normal request logic"?
Do you plan to extend the current dispatcher facility or you were
simply talking about the usage of XMLHttpRequest instead of 'normal
browser requests'?
