Rather than providing links to /user/register and then redirecting to
/register, why not just provide links directly to /register? You don't have
to route requests to register or to view the profile through the user
function.
If you want the register function to use the user.html view, in the register
function, you can do response.view = 'default/user.html'.
What does generate_register_form() do? If you want, you can generate the
default registration form with auth.register(), and then customize the way
it is displayed in the view.
