How do you envision Ajax use for the edit-inline interface? Would you
be using Ajax simply to return the form widgets for an extra inline
object, or would you be using it to actually *save* the related
objects to the database?

I don't think Ajax should be used to save the object, because that
goes against the interface concept of having a big, blue "Save" button
that saves changes. Plus, on the "Add" form, you wouldn't be able to
add inline objects to the database until you knew what the ID of the
main object was -- which would make Ajax inline editing impossible
until the "Change" form.

Let me know if I'm not making sense.
