So the end result of this discussion is that, instead of embedding  
the actual add/edit/etc. logic in the action method itself, one  
should have a separate processing method to handle it.  That way,  
various other methods (such as Ajax-based methods) have access to the  
add/edit logic.  Is that a fair summary?
