  Another use of the same feature would allow you to bypass "bad" forms.
Ever filled out a form and entered something wrong? You go to a new page
with that form again and some error messages.  If you "give up" at this
point you should be taken back to the page before the forms, not back to the
broken form.

  Scripting is not an acceptable solution.  Linx style LINK tags are on the
other hand.
