We have a few use cases for this.  The one we are getting the most push 
back for now that it no longer works is this....  We have a kiosk 
computer in an office where users log in, fill out a form, then log 
out.  They really want the browser to end up back on the form page but 
logged out so when the next user gets to the computer it is all set for 
them.  With our old CAS server, this worked well for them.

A 'return' parameter in the logout URL similar to what Jasig CAS offers 
would be great for our needs.

     Thanks,
