Note that, in spite of the name, you don't have to use xml with AJAX.
I use the combination of an AJAX front end on a web page to invoke rev
cgi scripts on the server in order to update a section of the page.
Works fine without any actual xml involved. I prefer to call it AJAR.

That said, you're spot on about the hardest part being "accurately
representing what you want your application to do". And that's true
for any app, not just restricted to AJAX.
