Start with the basic assumption that only a browser that groks the  
XMLHTTPRequest object is a candidate for AJAX technology deployment.  
The subset of those browsers is already very far down the path of  
eliminating or minimizing cross-browser problems. The problems arise  
because of the necessity most of us as Web developers feel we have to  
drag along the pre-modern browsers. If you focus only on the most  
recent generation of browsers, the cross-browser problems are  
becoming fewer and fewer, and libraries and functions exist to  
abstract away from those pretty easily.
