I'm not sure what Ajax has to do with this.

Defeating caches is useful for non-Ajax pages too.  In fact, I've only
encountered thorough cache-defeating advice in a non-Ajax context.

(And a side point: Ajax can be done without XmlHttpRequest.  Sometimes
even on modern browsers, due to XmlHttpRequest having stricter source
checks than <iframe src=...>, and alternate domains being needed to
work around the 2 connection per domain limit when doing
streaming/long-polling...)

That's great :-)
