We should revisit it as soon as we get closer to completing ASP.NET 2.0
support.

The good news is that Microsoft effectively open sourced the Javascript
client libraries, so only the server side must be implemented.

There is some early work on the "olive" module.

If people are interested in contributing to that effort, they should
write tests (no code will be accepted without a complete NUnit test case
for it).

Miguel.
