I think this is interesting, but I feel reluctant to add it
to the QP distribution.

I don't really see the need for decorators at all for this.
It seems like all of this would be clearer if your SitePublisher
simply overrides fill_response() call the inherited method, and
then validate and/or revise the response body as desired.
I assume different QP site authors might want different forms
of validation, and different forms of output formatting.
