I do not know what you have in mind with a Extbase dispatcher for eID, 
but my first thought was that extBase could by default take the eID 
'extbase' and provide a basic script that connects DB, inits fe_user 
(maybe read page TS?) and then tries to dispatch the current request if 
possible. That way in standard situations an ExtBase developer could 
simply implement an action that creates the wanted AJAX / image / 
whatever output and generate links with eID=extbase and that's it.

If this sounds like a good solution to you, I would give it a try.
