Hey Ed -

Among other things, the post-redirect-get pattern can be useful for:

1. Ensuring that the location uri displayed by the browser stays in
sync with the currently displayed content.
2. Avoiding form re-post warnings in response to back button activity.

It is possible I am missing something, since I haven't actually read
through the Faces Flows spec yet, but these seem generally important to me.

What is the rationale for disallowing redirects within Faces Flows?
