True enough - but REST doesn't use RenderView.  In any case you still
have a separate set of code for the 'View' aspect of the MVC model -
REST calls them serializers.  They still aren't in your controller
logic...  I would be interested in an explanation of how to do
streaming of data within REST without hacking around things also.

Didn't someone do a streaming tutorial / example at some point?
