RE: How to suppress Velocity Transforms?

It should be possible to call $response.setContentType() anywhere near
the top of the template.  Without Maverick transforms (which can change
the output flow considerably), this works the same way that JSP works:

.  The servlet container provides a buffer of some size into which
output is written.

.  When the buffer becomes full, it is "committed" and flushed to the
output stream; all output after that is sent directly to the output
stream.

.  Until the buffer is committed, any changes can be made to the http
response headers, but afterwards it's illegal - the headers have already
been written.

The "standard" JSP (and Velocity) pattern is to set the content-type in
the template itself.  For XSLT this is not really an option, so an
"output-type" attribute on the maverick config node is used.
