  Well, I do not understand completely. Here is the actual behavior:

- We have two strings that can be passed by a kxr_redirect:
   - a "login" token which will be passed to the dest server in the 
login phase and then cleared
   - an "open" opaque info which will be passed to the dest server in 
the open phase. This is not cleared, but can be overwritten by a 
subsequent kxr_redirect.

  This is the way I interpreted the proto specs. How does it sound to you?

  Argh, I do not understand... Please translate!
