Yes. So do i think. Apparantly this is not the common idea, though.

* Drupal itself has APIs for nice AJAX and DHTML stuff
* Drupal itself does NOT use them. Not by default
* A theme can implement autofills, resizers, CoolHoverEffects, 
StuffWeNeedBecauseWordpressHasIt and so on. 
* A theme can also not implement these and then ship with the core defaults, 
wich is, no AJAX DHTML stuff.

This is my opinion. And though I may feel this way, there is no way i feel 
like turning back all the hard work done, in patches of whatevers. Not untill 
I know that at least a vast mayority thinks this is good. Wchih, i fear, will 
be never :)

So as i said before, i will do all this in a prototype module. A module that 
removes the ajax JS from core and re-implements stuff on a themed basis. It 
feels a bit weird but at least its the easiest route, 
Another todo :)
