Comment (by r-a-y):

 > I think root profiles won't be that bad. Existing code for bbPress's
 root forums handles this scenario, and I'm hoping that using rewrite rules
 will allow any component to exist in the root

 I'll have to take a look at how bbPress does root forums!

 01b.ajax.patch is an alternative way to address the AJAX issue brought up
 in comment:13.

 ''(Requires the earlier 01.patch)''

 This technique loads up the WordPress query with the `wp()` function
 during AJAX requests, which will allow `'parse_query'` to run... well,
 almost!  `bp_parse_query()` bails when in the admin area.  There's
 probably a good reason why `bp_parse_query()` does this, so I left that
 function untouched and added a stub method to run our `'bp_parse_query'`
 hook.

 Hat-tip to Boone for pointing me in this direction.

 The only other issue is the hardcoded `PHP_SELF`. I'm not sure if that
 value changes in different environments.
