Hi Jon, you're suggested solution would work. But this would require that you always use your new transformer in every place and be careful when generating links.
In general, if you're using the CachingURICoplet you shouldn't use the action-counter at all. I think more and more while the action counter was a good idea, it's better to disable the action-counter and replace it by a component that forces the browser to reload the page when the back button is used.
