Like pouring ajax in my wounds?

Trying to upgrade from 5.0.6, and upgrading all my ajax stuff is killing me...

The issues I've run into (I'm shoehorning things a bit, by just
returning a block from an actionevent handler and grabbing the markup
from the jsonresponse with my AJAX response handler... in part because
of a) below) are:

a) Nested zones?  I haven't been able to get them working... I have a
page where sometimes I just want to update a few minor elements,
sometimes a big grandfather element...

b) The id namespace issue, broke all my javascript $('divid') calls...
there are workarounds (one just posted today,much cleaner than mine...
thanks!) but I'd love to be able to turn this off, for some cases
where duplicate id's won't matter (or is preferred).

c) JSON is powerful, but returning a big complicated element in a json
string is hurting performance (the escaping I assume server side, and
the eval() clientside, as well as inflating the response size with all
the escaping...) ... in some cases almost doubling the roundtrip time
over my 5.0.6 solution (2 seconds vs. 4 seconds in Safari 3) and the
difference is more severe in Firefox 3 (and potentially worse in
IE?)..  I'd really love to be able to just return the raw markup
again... instead of having to wrap it in a JSON object...  if someone
knows how to do this beyond 5.0.6 PLEASE share!!!! Or if someone can
point me to something I can decorate to skip the jsonobject creation,
You'll be my hero!

I should have put c) first... since that's the one I'm struggling most with...
