FWIW, we're using a variant of the isAjax, passing different values to 
tell the framework to handle it in different ways.

For instance, one kind of AJAX call is a direct update of a single 
column in a single row of a table, with no response necessary, so this 
gets its own type of parameter.  The universal dispatcher catches it and 
processes it directly and exits w/o sending anything back.
