Can you use Silverlight with AJAX without any interface element?

Question

I know that you can simply use CSS to hide a DIV or Silverlight Plugin, but is there a way to create a Silverlight Component / App instance using JavaScript that does not display the user interface element at all?

Silverlight has many features, such as MultiThreading and compiled code, that can be used by traditional Ajax applications without using the XAML / UI Silverlight layer at all.

I would just like to use standard HTML / CSS only for my user interface level and use some compiled .NET / Silverlight code in the background.

Kurt, using managed JavaScript, will still require the Silverlight / XAML layer to be visible on the page, right? Is there a way to completely get rid of any Silverlight / UI element from the display?
