I read that AJAX generates more trips to the server (even if it looks like the page is refreshed less often), so what if someone does not want that?

I'd like to echo Marc's comment here. AJAX works fine when you have low latency, but with high latencies (think satellite links where the downstream latency is 250ms [geosynchronous orbit and back], and upstream is often higher), and it becomes a lot more of a problem. I used such a connection on a ship at one point, and despite being a 15Mbit pipe, it was unusable for anything that expected interactivity.

I have no objections to AJAX support, but there must be a way to turn it off.
