You might want to look at the way Cheetah does this.  One of our 
design goals was to make the .respond method work with or without 
WebKit.  The details are too complicated to explain in an email, but 
you wanted to read Cheetah's src anyway, right?? ;)  The gist of it 
is that you need to provide a dummy Transaction object.  
Cheetah.DummyTransaction should do the trick for you.
