David, you never mentioned what view technology you are using. If you're using JSP or Velocity, you can pretty easily set response headers from the templates themselves.
XSL is more difficult - a special final transform is probably what you're looking for. It should be easy to make, just pass the ContentHandler back to the caller (with XSL, you want communication to be via SAX events). The only tricky thing is that you'll probably have to set the headers at the beginning of getSAXHandler(), because you need to write headers before the sax events flow and cause output to be written to the response...
