I don't have an answer to your question, but would like to make a
comment. 

One of my initial criticisms of the CGI::Prototype docs was what you
are doing here. The call to $self->CGI->header is more general and
will apply to many more pages/objects than the current page. It does
not belong in the same method as a page-local call such as
$self->reflect->package: it is application-wide not page-local.

I think it belongs in render_enter in a base class... then, if a
particular page needs to send a certain content type, it can override
the method.
