Unless the pages are incredibly simplistic, there will be multiple concurrent 
requests.  Each embedded object in the page along with any .css files will 
cause the browser to issue multiple requests in parallel.  You also have no 
control over the user getting impatient and clicking more links or buttons 
before the prior one responds.

Sorry, but that's rather naive.  You cannot base the integrity of your 
application on trusting the user to always do the right thing.

Yes, I would.
