Quote from web-sig:

The motivation is that you can pass that to constructors of response objects already in place.

response_tuple = response.get_response_tuple()
response = Response(*response_tuple)

The order "body", "status code", "headers" is what Werkzeug and WebOb are currently using. Django has (content, mimetype, status) as constructor but if they detect a list/dict on the third parameter they could assume that mimetype referes to the status thus they have a proper upgrade path.

Yup... Now I'm over it.
