Christoph,

One way to do it is to tie your ajax responder to a specific page type 
and then set that up in your template. Eg:

ajaxPage = page
ajaxPage.typeNum = 99
ajaxPage.10 < plugin.tx_ajaxResponder_pi1

Then, your calls to the ajax responder include &type=99 in the URL, 
which tells your template to look to your responder PHP script for 
output -- that script is then responsible for returning the XML 
response. That's the general approach we've taken when we the eID 
approach hasn't been sufficent.

Make sense?
