This is much better to me since:
* Stats are a transersval concern, not related to the view action  
especially. I'm pretty sure we can imagine use cases where we don't  
want to register stats for actions other than view
* The way I'd like to implement the actions later on (xwiki-actions  
module) is to have action pipelines and this "saving stats" action  
will be implemented as a post-action that would be injected after the  
main actions. Thus only this post action will need to check the  
parameter which will be transparent to the other actions, thus  
providing a good separation of concern.
