That would involve preserving more state, which I've never yet done as
anything other than a debugging aid, because it means the state format
needs to be preserved yet still have enough data to be ready to use on
reload, even across new versions which might expect other data to be
present.  That's not hard, but is constraining and so I've not done it
on this toy service.  I absolutely would do so on a "production"
service.

Doing things the way I did means that I can just extract the data which
is already present, which means serving up data that's in RAM already.

That counts, so no.  :)

If the service ever gets so loaded down that I notice, I'll just shove
in Referer: header checks and only whitelist those who let me know ahead
of time.
