 Replying to [comment:2 filosofo]:
 > I just post Ajax data to the current WP page, and I attach a callback
 method to the "init" action, and when the posted value of my Ajax is set,
 it does whatever needs to be done, after the requisite verification (user-
 permission check, nonce check, etc.).

 I've gone this route recently, but felt kind of dirty always having the
 init hook called to check if certain post variables were submitted.  I
 realize its very little overhead in the scheme of things, but it just felt
 out of place.

 While we're on the subject, is there a reason we don't accept $_REQUEST
 action for nopriv ajax?  That way GET could be used for improved caching
 between users where needed.
