I think that our (dotMobi's) objective is to create moki and XSLT in
such a way as they can be run in a framework independent manner. That
said, there is no intention to be hard-nosed about it.

For the sake of clarity, why is the "if X, re-request the document with
headers Y and Z" different to "if the status is 301 or 302 re-request
the document with the same headers as before", which is all reasonably
accommodated with plain moki and xslt?
