Description

Increasingly, link a form or link to a Zone to perform an update is awkward: in some cases, the server-side behavior will limit its response to messages via AlertManager; in other cases, the update will be for multiple Zone's with well-known client ids, via the AjaxResponseRenderer service.

It would be nice if there was a parameter or mixin that forced a Form, ActionLink, or EventLink to be an Ajax request without specifying a zone.

Ultimately, this should be no more than a data- attribute and a document-level event handler.
