yeah, the payload is almost zero difference, a round off error compared w/ connection latency

a lot of folks conflate AJAX w/ JSON apis, and can't easily imagine an endpoint returning partial bits of HTML that have nothing to do with a public JSON API

worse, people have been misled to believe that JSON APIs are REST-ful

we have a lot of work to do

That matches by experience and is kind of ironic, considering that the X in "AJAX" once stood for XML. ;)
