Comment (by iandunn):

 I uploaded `40702-ajax.diff` as an alternative approach using the original
 admin-AJAX endpoint instead of the REST API.

 I want to see the REST API used in the near future, but it seems like we
 need more time to settle on good long-term decisions. So, I think using
 admin-AJAX in the short term will give us that time, but without blocking
 the feature from being merged to 4.8.

 I'll be making more tweaks to the `-ajax` series of patches today, to
 incorporate feedback people have made that isn't related to the REST API.
 I wanted to get the first `-ajax` patch out there now, though, so it can
 start getting feedback.
