isXml is a very nice idea (thanks, Clay), and I found it so useful
that I have set a $is_xml public property in my app so I have a short
way to check it in views.

However, I always feel that the name is strange (when I use isXml I
think in XML itself, and not in XMLHttpRequest). Rail uses
request.xhr, so I was thinking if isXhr wouldn't be more appropriate
and easy to recognize. Just an idea, though, and not very important of
course. :-)
