I think that this would be a worthwhile addition if you want to ensure that all required data is provided to an element. However, you're still required to handle the provision of input values in the target element itself. People can always remove values from the URL, or type in an URL by hand without the values.

What I typically do in this case is add a check to the initialize() method of the element and verify if all required inputs have a value. If not, I exit to a well know element like the home page or the start of a flow. I'm wondering if this might not be combined into this feature addition. Maybe also add a declaration that points to an exit and automatically checks all the inputs that are marked as required. Just need to think of a name for it though ... any ideas?
