How exactly is this an AJAX app? Looks to me like it’s just JavaScript…

the method is AJAX in nature, it uses javascript to dynamically rewrite the elements on the page.

Using JavaScript to rewrite page elements doesn’t make it AJAX-ian. Looking through the example code I don’t see any XML requests-that’s what makes an AJAX app. Cool app either way, but nothing more than JavaScript + CSS.

I’m sure it uses the DOM, and it runs on an XHTML page, so technically it is using XML

Yes, technically it is using XML - but not in the sense that a true AJAX app does. There aren’t any asynchronous server-side requests using the XMLHttpRequest object. All it seems to be doing is, as prstudio said, “[using] javascript to dynamically rewrite the elements on the page.”
