The result of a successful POST should always and only be a HTTP 201 Created status. Included with this response will be a Location header to the newly created resource. From there, you perform a GET to the uri specified in the location header (and of course can specify the "output" query string option then).
You still do that and return a useful body in the format they requested. Get the best of both worlds. Take care, John "The anti-fanatic :-)" Mitchell
