I would also recommend xajax. I have used it before and you can almost
meet both requirements with one lib:

a) for those JavaScript-phobics you have PHP-functions to "exchange
elements of ID x with this html-fragment", and
b) for those who like to do the javascript by themselves you have a
PHP-function where you return some javascript which will be run on the
calling side.

And you can even mix a) and b) so you can easily exchange some parts in
your XHTML with one call and then still run some other "self-made"
javascript.

As far as I've seen the framework is pretty slim.

Cheers,
