Re: "keywords" module is released

Great stuff, i'm enjoying xlink already. Because i'm lazy and don't want to
do short urls with fixed terms for each mod i write, xlink came as a
christmas present for me. 

Now i'm thinking of allowing redirect to have an optional piece of
functionality to not change the request uri from the xlink uri 
like http://xar.com/index.php/repository/core  to
http://xar.com/index.php?module=bkview&func=display&itemid=1 etc.

I had my money on an optional Content-Location header in the redirect, but
that doesn't work.

If i get it to work, we could do away with the decentralized short url
encoding.
