I wish I could remember the exact context in which this was used - but I
do recall it was a requirement at the time.  Possibly a Transact
limitation.  We're going back a year or two though.

I agree after more thought, however, that it would not be the
responsibility of Struts to implement this (after all, a
response.redirect() would achieve the same thing).
