This is actually pretty much the only situation where I use it.

Clever - no. Fast - yes. If I happen to end up with a table with
hundreds of rows, and must manipulate it client side, I just might rely
on innerHTML. (Naturally heavy tasks are often better done server side,
but sometimes that is not an option.)

And this is a very worthwhile idea to promote too!
And as you mentioned XHR (and as the title of this thread has "AJAX" in
it :-) this is good place to tell, that the XMLHttpRequest object is now
a W3C Working Draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/
