This gives you two big advantages IMHO:

	1. you can put resultset on the stash without paying for them
	with an SQL query. If the view chooses not to use this resultset
	(due to user prefs, feed variant, whatever) then the DB is never
	queried. This is easier to maintain and comes at a small
	performance overhead in comparison to making these decisions in
	the controller.

	2. subsequent actions can further filter the data set, or use it
	to create related resultsets. This encourages code reuse.
