First off, hey Joel!
We do the exact same thing at Flickr. Anytime the front-end needs an method to do something, we'll build it in (though it may not always make its way into our public API).
The nice thing is if we change the behavior of an API method inadvertently, we catch it instantly since the site itself reveals the bugs.
