What i'm saying is that sometimes you don't want to redirect, in the aforementioned xml api example you'd probably just respond with an empty response with the appropriate http status code. An ajaxified interface is also a place where you might not want to do a redirect (you'd just return some html to be inserted into the DOM or produce some javascript to execute).
