I think that's where I got the idea that the response/...  functions 
terminated the servlet.  There are a few examples in which response/... 
is the final function called in the servlet, but there aren't any 
examples that show sending a response from the middle except for those 
invoking the send/... functions.  But those examples also involve saving 
continuations so I associated send/... with continuation saving.

Thanks, that look's like what I want.  The idea here is that the input 
is invalid so the servlet can't continue.
