Comment(by dd32):

 It should be worth noting here, That we do actually have a "standard"
 library for communication, the WP_Ajax_Response PHP Class and the WP Ajax
 Javascript library..

 JS Library: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/js
 /wp-ajax-response.dev.js An implementation of it as a reciever:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/js/autosave.dev.js#L85

 The PHP Class: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/classes.php#L1673 An implementation of sending it:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/admin-
 ajax.php?rev=15956#L363

 The major problem with these libraries, is that people do not understand
 how to use them.. The 0/1 responses are valid and carry a known
 explanation, and the XML structures returned are also of a standard
 quantity.

 If anything, This ticket should focus on integrating well with jQuery as
 well as being simple/powerful enough for 99% of developers to understand
 the code.
