I would agree with that.  I think this could be accomplished by using setting
the _REDIRECT setting for each _ACTION_FORWARD array to true or false.  The
ActionController would then either:
if (_REDIRECT) {
    header('Location: '._PATH);
} else {
    $_GET[_VIEW] = [view portion of _PATH]
}

the application.php would look like:

if (!array_key_exists(_CONTROLLER, $_SESSION)) {
    $controller = new ActionController($options);
    $_SESSION[_CONTROLLER] = $controller;
}
$controller = &$_SESSION[_CONTROLLER];
if (array_key_exists(_ACTION, $_REQUEST)) {
    //release control to controller for further processing
    $controller->process($mappings, $_REQUEST);
} 
$controller->showView();

That way, if there is an action specified, process it.  If it redirects, you
are done, else you always try to display a view (either action did not
redirect, or there was no action specified to begin with).

Jason
