Well, this is entirely a "standing on the shoulders of giants" type of 
thing. I just pulled the pieces together, which was surprisingly easy -- 
10 hours from when I had the idea to when I got 0.1.0 out.

One particular switch was that when "jsonp" is absent or empty, to 
return a complete HTML document. This was based on yesterday's 
discussion on this list -- that all JAHAH webservices could return a 
document that is also (almost) AHAH compatible.

And on the subject of Indian restaurants, if there was a decent one in 
Toronto that I knew of I'd be a whole lot happier! :-)
