 Replying to [comment:1 markoheijnen]:
 > The codex page http://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins does describe
 the need of die(). I don't think we should change to just die() when the
 developer doesn't do it in their code. Main reason is that the code in
 general is used for WordPress core itself. I do like the idea of a 404
 header when you don't handle die() correctly.

 > Also I can see why we need to have an header included to a function like
 wp_send_json_error() to a status code as 400.

 capability checks can be done but you can't map meta capabilities. Since
 does do need to know more information like the 'edit_post' capability need
 to know the post ID.

 Hi Heijnen,

 Thanks for your reply. I noticed in firebug console that wp-admin uses
 this, however if core needs that then definitely it should be there.

 We both agree that wordpress should provide some feedback in case of a
 developer forgot to use die() properly.

 Actually I mentioned basic/same capability like edit_categories,
 manage_options etc. My intention behind the sample code fragment was:
 ''New functionality to distribute and control ajax functions capability
 just like menu pages/submenu pages.''

 Thanks,
