This is a good idea. However, it is just one way of handling forgotten
passwords. Another way is using a reminder phrase, for example.
Ideally the mechanism for handling forgotten passwords should be pluggable.
Perhaps it is possible to implement the handling for forgotten passwords in
portlets. The page to which the forgotten password link points would then
contain the forgotten-password-handling portlet of choice.

What would be the benefit of this behavior ?

This one is pretty hard, but surely it would be very useful. There has been
an extensive discussion of this topic some months ago, it might be
worthwile
for you to dig through the mailing-list archives. The complicated thing
about this is that a truely generic portlet that should be able to run any
web application in a portlet cell would also need to refwrite JavaScript.
Probably the rewriting mechanism would need to include a portlet instance
id
in each url.
