[OpenLayers-Dev] beyond ajax

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

Just hoping to catch attention with a provocative subject line.

I've put together some convenience methods that do a decent job of 
replacing the code in Ajax.js (in my opinion).  The background, 
description of the solution, and examples of new XHR request style are 
documented here:

If anybody cares to give it a whirl, see the patch attached to ticket #1565.

http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1565

This patch could use review.  Tests pass in FF2, IE6, IE7, Safari, and 
Opera.

Thanks,
Tim
