I absolutely agree. Bombadillo, as a matter of transparency, notifies the user that a redirect 
has been requested and asks if they would like to follow it or not. This leaves it always in 
the user's hands whether or not to proceed.

I also think this would be a good addition to the torture test, though I am unsure as a way
to validate that a client behvaed correctly.
