This would be very helpful for me! I'm desigining an application with a fairly complex internal navigation structure and until the workflow commons package is in a more complete state I've had to make do with an ad hoc scheme that has been seriously hindered by the inability of an action to set request parameters on an action that it forwards to. I'm ending up having to do redirection to (long, ugly) URLs computed on the fly instead of forwards a lot of the time. This suggestion would certainly ease that particular pain.
