I don't think I have any inherent objection (and yes, that's more what I wanted, explicit "top level" transparency in what was being plugged in, not so concerned about the internals of it once the requests are going to that path).

I'd like to get input from people who've used Spring with MVC more to make sure there's no concern with conflicts here, but I can't see any harm from that kind of annotation.

My concern was mostly that WebFlow is already MVC-based and is living inside its own dispatcher and we can't interfere with that.
