Yes, it's different because the above works only with a <map:resource 
name="/path/to/pipeline">. Internal redirect goes through the standard 
pipeline mechanisms : matchers, selectors, etc.

That's exactly the purpose. The need for this came from an off-list 
discussion with Ovidiu about the relationships between the flow engine 
and the sitemap. I suggested that is was more natural to base the 
contract of the sitemap only on URIs than on both URIs (for incoming 
requests) and resources (for pages called from the flow).

Mmmmh. I should be a little bit biased to answer this question 
impartially ;)

Anyway, integrating forwarding in the compiled engine means basically 
replacing all SitemapRedirectors by ForwardRedirector (with care taken 
of the additionnal constructor parameters). So I think it should be good 
to have it in both engines.
