I find it odd that the response of an AJAX request is eval-ed automatically just because it has a specific content type.
Given the side effect of eval(), I feel this should be triggered by the presence of an additional header or something.

See http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5742 for a related discussion. The lack of '('+text+')' triggered this investigation.
