AJAX calls should set the "Accept" header if appropriate

Description
Some web service libraries (like Jersey) allow you to send back data in different formats (like XML, JSON or www-form-encoded) from the same URL. The client can select the format by setting the "Accept" request header. This unfortunately can't be done through JQuery.
I propose the following enhancements:
1. Allow the "Accept" header to be set when calling $.ajax();
2. Make $.getJSON() (and possibly other high-level AJAX calls) set this header to the appropriate value by default.
(See the comment by Wolfram Arnold on this page: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/ )

OK, it looks like this is actually a bug that only appears in some situations. It happens when the URL contains a parameter: 'callback=?' - I haven't seen it happen otherwise. Someone who knows more about JSONP than me should probably review this.

Setting dataType sets the Accept header.
Sorry, please disregard this ticket. It turns out that JQuery already does set the "Accept" header.
