I don't quite understand this.

What is Laszlo? Why would this benefit AT? Are you talking about making
changes to AT core (in which case you'll need to get buy-in from the wider
community and the release manager, of course)?

Have you looked at the work going on in Bling and KSS?

This sounds fairly risky, and potentially overlapping with wider AJAX work
proposed for 3.0 in the shape of Bling and/or KSS.

It sounds to me like you're takling about introducing a dependency on a
third-party system in AT - again, this sounds a bit suspect to me.
