	Well, no one's done anything upstream on it, yet. The keywords patch 
didn't need AJAX, so it didn't have to worry about that.

	It does not. YUI does not have a JSON-RPC client.

	You could possibly find a single-author open-source JSON-RPC client and 
ask if the author would be willing to relicense it under the MPL, and 
then adapt it to use YUI (which has various facilities that would be 
useful to such a client, though it doesn't have the client itself).

	A quick Google search says that you might be able to adapt this:

	Because it was a customization, we created a custom CGI for the 
Autocomplete to call.

	Yep, if you want it. It's probably somewhere in this repo:

	bzr://bzr.everythingsolved.com/nasa/praca4

	Although if you derive anything from it, the Original Author has to be 
the San Jose State University Foundation.
