This is great! Please do let me know if you encounter any problems with 
it.

Sorry, I forgot about this. Thanks for reminding me about it.

Can you please explain in more detail what the problem was with the 
redirection using the cocoon:/ protocol and the Portal framework? I 
don't see where an issue could appear. You almost always want the page 
to be redirected to an internal pipeline.

Perhaps a better solution is to remove the "cocoon:/" string from the 
AbstractInterpreter.forwardTo() method and put it in the system.js 
sendPage() function, which at least could be redefined. What do you 
think?

This is nice, would you care to contribute them?

Oh, thank you very much! I'm glad you like the concept, I'll try to 
improve it even more.
