 Replying to [ticket:9209 DanCoulter]:
 > There's no way for plugins or themes to call custom Ajax actions on
 public parts of the blog without calling files in the plugin or theme
 directory directly.

 Actually, all you have to do is send your xhr request to something like
 {{{http://example.com/?my-special-request=1}}}

 Then hook into the init action:

 {{{
 add_action('init', 'check_for_xhr');
 function check_for_xhr() {
      if ( ! empty( $_GET['my-special-request'] ) )
           // do whatever

 }
 }}}
