The key is that users should be able to perform AJAX actions without the need for AJAX. Done the right way this should solve most and accessibility issues. I've seen with my own eyes that Product Managers are not interested in understanding this and just want a Web 2.0 AJAX driven site. I'm pleased to say though that after heavy lobbying a couple of these sites are now recoding to use progressive enhancement and less AJAX not more. Couldn’t agree more.
