Well ... Ideally the "return" link is supposed to be to the
page _before_ the survey.

So you've got some index.html somewhere with
  [a href="/survey.php?name=foo"] Take a Survey [/a]
Then the "return" link should take you back to
"index.html".

However if you type http://place.ext/survey.php?name=foo
into the url bar, then there is no referrer, so it sorta
goes back to itself.

What do you all think the policy should be?
