Sorry, to clarify my code fragment, I want to wait until the DOM is
ready before running a chunk of code:

  var ajax = new Ajax.Request(url, {
    onSuccess: function(res) {
      // run this once the DOM is ready
   }
  });

I can't add document.observe("dom:loaded", ...) to the start of the
onSuccess function because it appears to not run if the DOM is already
ready, which makes perfect sense from an event based point of view.  I
guess part of the problem is that dom:loaded is more of a flag than an
event...  (It can never happen more than once, for example.)
