Actually, I didn't know about the format parameter (or the TS to do it
according to pagetype :), but the problem we were still having is with
redirects inside the controller ($this->redirect('next')).  We ended up
overriding the redirect method so that it preserves the pagetype/format that
the original request, because when the request was made for the XML
pagetype/format, we wanted the response to be XML, regardless of whether
there was a redirect in between.

I'm not sure if this has changed by now (I am replying to a month old email
:), but if not... Is there ever a case where you wouldn't want the pagetype
or format to be preserved through a redirect?  If there isn't, then I guess
it would be a pretty simple patch (which I hopefully could provide).
