[Seaside] flow

[Julian Fitzell]

Embed what? In the end you still have to return a response and you can
either return an HTML response or a PDF response... you can't return both.
If you return a PDF, there is no way for the user to proceed further down
that branch of the control flow (unless you were generating a PDF with
callback links inside it :) ). It is, effectively, a dead branch, so
#answering after returning a PDF doesn't make sense to me.

I'm still struggling to understand the flow that Milan is envisioning...
