AJAX is a stupid  and confusing word.


People is wondering for something that programmers have used for many years.


Javascript + Xml and asynchronous requests is not new. People started to 


speak about AJAX a lot after XmlHttpRequest was introduced, so AJAX cant'be 


Javasript+xml+xmlhttprequest.


But if you still think so, you can't anyway call this AJAX. What is new with 


xmlhttprequest is the possibility to perform a synchronous request! (but 


incredibly AJAX stay for Asynchrous+JavaScript+XML).


So AJAX is really a bad word, don't use it here, we are programmers not end 


users to wonder with mythological words.
