Yes, of course you can call a business delegate directly from an Action - it's just java code. The architecture I related in my prior post is simply cleaner (in my opinion) because only a single action is defined in the sitemap. The business delegates are configured in cocoon.xconf.
As for your scenario, I don't know why you would be getting the form parameters from woody - the action has access to the Request object which has the request parameters in it. Typically, a separate action (or you would use flowscript) to validate the parameters before invoking the action that calls the business delegate. Notice that this makes it easy to "compartmentalize" your operations.
