It does make sense if you want things to be "persistent" across a single 
request and also be request-local (like thread-local).  We've used 
something similar to cache expensive calculations during the processing 
of a request and to transfer information between objects that otherwise 
wouldn't be able to communicate.

I would prefer we remove the underscores from the attribute name though.
