No redirect necessary, no double callbacks being run on refresh. Still have the "do you want to resubmit this form" alert, but I've never been concerned about that and don't particularly understand why people are.

exactly. Consumable actions. 

That can get it done.

And about the dialog: your app should run on SSL anyway so is not about security. It's about usability because it's based on the assumption that it annoys the user. That could or could not be an issue, that depends on the app and the audience way more than on the framework.

But even so, it sounds that:
1. it was a byproduct of the design decision more than anything.
2. it's workable too
