So I take it you just have "manual" action code like this:
def writeContent(self):
if self.request().hasField('someAction'):
# do something
else:
# do whatever you're supposed to do otherwise

Sounds very interesting. I'd like to see the code. Checking it into
Experimental can't hurt.
I found that adding the EndResponse exception handling made code involving
redirects easier to handle. Security checking is similar to a redirect, in
that you want to stop processing and do something entirely different. So an
exception makes good sense there too.
