Thanks! I'm using Ernie's ahah.js code. I just changed the initial
text from "sending..." to "Sending XMLHttpRequest..."

Because my markup uses "div" elements for the main content and the
hCard data, I planned on displaying the hCard data by swapping the
"div" elements and changing the style to "display:show". I haven't had
time to implement this, but displaying everything that is
microformatted makes sense.
