Not really ! AJAX is a set ot technologies and practices built around
XML and JavaScript (AJAX means Asynchronous JAvascript and XML) that
makes it possible to develop something that looks like a RIA using
only HTML and JavaScript. That way, parts of the screen can be loaded
independently without refreshing the whole page. It's very popular at
the moment. It's what GMail uses (among many others !).

Yes but if you do it that way, you don't need a RIA anymore, and using
Laszlo is even worse than using anything else as your whole page has
to be refreshed and in the case of Laszlo, recompiled. It's very
important to understand that Laszlo-style RIA's and Cocoon-generated
HTML pages use very different paradigms. That's precisely the strength
of Laszlo : it makes you think about web applications completely
differently.
That's why I'm particularly skeptical about using it in conjunction with Cocoon.
