It's true that you don't *need* it. But you'll waste a lot more time
reimplementing wheels.  What about etag support, for instance?  Parsing
paths?  You'll end up with code that's cluttered up with servlet concerns,
rather than what you're actually trying to do.

Don't get me wrong — I like the servlet API.  But the REST apis that have
appeared over the last year or two are much easier to use.
