> When using an _update handler, it should be possible to return a response code.
>   return [ doc, {
>   headers : { "Location" : "/" },
>   code	  : 303,
>   body	  : 'Redirecting'
>   }];
> Should return 303 (the redirect for POST) but in fact, on a successful create returns 201.  This means it is not possible to use the browser to POST as you cannot redirect on return.  This feels like a bug.
> In any case, I would respectfully suggest that the syntax of the _update handler be changed so that there is a store(doc) call (or similar) which returns a JSON object to the update handler so that the handler may redirect appropriately.  That would make it possible to do updates client-side with little or no client-side javascript.
