I think I did the mistake to read several posts but answered only one 
of them...

I found your posts dealing more with the essentials (mainly focusing 
on the Use Case) and lesser with the implementation under the hood. It 
was other recent posts which, in my opinion, payed a little too much 
attention to the Redirects before the actual feature/Use Case was very 
clearly defined, or for that part, understood.

But perhaps my post gave another impression, that I meant that *you* 
had the focus at the wrong place, if so sorry for that, I really 
didnäöt mean it that way.

In other words, I think your line of thought is interesting, and it 
may well end up in something useful for the users, even without too 
much work under the hood (which is also I wanted to point out some 
benefits with the existing generic Redirect concept, especially to 
those who didn't already realize that).

And yes, if my intention had been to criticize your basic idea, then 
it definitely would be proper time for me to give better suggestions! =)
