An app of course can always do that anyway; the important point to
understand is that the use of a parameter *after* sending the client to
/Shibboleth.sso/Logout is to tell it where to go *after* the logout
operation(s) within the SP happen. So if you want to step in before, you
want to do that explicitly and then go to /Logout.

There are also error conditions (though almost none with Local logout)
that will result in the template displaying instead of redirecting to the
return location, so using redirectErrors may also be a requirement.
