Hi Tim,

What kind of AJAX features? Can you describe them or provide examples?

Before I see them I do suggest that you basically start with an
accessible interface without AJAX functionality and then add extra
functionality from there - so if some aspect does not work user can at
the least the suer can still have an accessible interface/mechanism.
This technique is loosely termed 'progressive enhancement'. I also
recommend considering where and when this functionality is needed and
always using your critical faculty to decide if it really is necessary.
Not that I am a Luddite or anything ;)

Thats my 2 cents really.

Josh
