In future, however, we really want this to become transparant and Very 
Themable.

look at http://rubyonrailsblog.com/ vs. http://www.developonrails.nl/

Both use the *exact* same engines/code/whatever but one has its search-auto 
float in from the top (unnesssary blingbling if you ask me) while the other 
has it somewhere in his sidebar (far too hidden away to be usavle if you ask 
me). Both use the same code (typo: http://www.typosphere.org/) but still both 
manage to get a different look+feel for this particular.

Which route Drupal takes is, is not a point here. But the result should be, in 
this particular point, that AJAXy stuff is fully configurable and so in the 
theme level. That goes far beyond some #ids and CSS lines!
