Here's my question/comment: to me it seems that the
only reason an "Action" would be considered part of
the web layer is that S2 maps the names of Actions to
URLs and can process the named result types in a webby
way.

But that's really not related to the Actions
themselves--to me this distinction seems the point of
XWork/the "Command Pattern". 

The fact that I can test my Actions in complete
isolation only makes me believe that even
more--because my test framework is blissfully unaware
that it's testing what are, ultimately, URLs.

So... while I agree that things should be broken up
into fairly granular units of responsibility, I guess
I wonder if it's really fair to call Actions part of
the web layer anymore, when really they're just being
used by (what I consider to be) the *real* web layer?
