I understand what you are saying, however imagemagic with it's million 
parameters is different then a couple of wrappers.
Also I don't recal (I might be wrong) That there is not a wrapper class 
for imagemagic in T3.
I do think that the sajax interface must be as light weight as possible 
I have been using jospan on my site for some time and it does it's job
good, except for some language problem I had.
However calling JO Span from a page is slow I have page rendering times 
of 7 seconds and that doesn't sounds to good for a response time for a 
ajax framework.

I ended up makeing a little file in the root of t3, I just initliase the 
DB, a user and that's it.
 From there I can get much faster response times. I also wrote a little 
extentions for registering functions etc... I can talk to sebastian 
about it just to share some ideas.

So I think it's good for us to make, liek Michael said a good class 
interface. What we put behind that can be changed, as long as the 
interface stays the same.
