This is an interesting approach. However, I can't even consider using it. How can exploiting browser flaws to bypass necessary security measures provide a permanent, dependable solution to anything?

Yeah, someone else sent me the same concern privately. I didn't realize that JSON was designed for 'eval' parsing, which is a bit scary. That's one reason why I really as much behavior as possible to be declarative rather than procedural.

I think the custom tags idea for allowing an extra dictionary is a nice tough, but it sounds like a convention for using those within XOXO might be more viable.

For that matter, since we've already determined that responseText passes along 'meta' information, wouldn't it be simpler to just use *that* as our out-of-band key-value datastore? True, one can't do complex data structures, but I suspect that it would solve the 80% case, which is what AHAH is all about. Right?

I've added notes to this effect at: http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/ ahah#Meta_tags

Of course, I'm willing to revise that page (and my opinion :-) based on better information, or further experience with real-world implementations.
