Unfortunately, the tutorial *does* suggest that very thing for the
modified example:

> We need to send our request to a plugin PHP file. This could be the main plugin PHP file, or a separate PHP file. It's probably a little cleaner to do it in a separate file, which we'll assume is called "myplugin_ajax.php", located in the standard wp-content/plugins directory of Wordpress.
