Just my $0.02: I find this odd. Imagine that you want some processing to be
done based on the input (i.e. server side email address checking) (We all
agree that any validation also needs to be performed at the serverside,
right?).
If the provided email address appears to be incorrect, I would never think
about throwing a 500 server error.... A small JSON object with an
error/exception message would seem much more logical to me...
