I have thought in the past that it might be nice to specify another kind of
"Action" that was actually just a method of model that accepted the same two
parameters as the Action::Process() method.  This might allow for some of the
thiner Action classes to just be included as model class methods rather than
distinct Action classes.  For more significant actions where the class make
sense, it should still be supported.

Perhaps, borrowing from Tony, "Commands" could be the name of these kind of
mappings.  You might need:
Command Name
Model Base Class
Method Name
Input Page Source
Validate 
Form
and you would still need associated forwards.
