What to do with workflow parameter?

How do you plan to handle the submitted form (html) fields (if any) from the 
original page (pre-login) so that they may be re-submitted to the necessary 
action class?

Should the login page:
   1. Write them as hidden (html) fields?
      If so, how to do you handle duplicate fields?
   2. Append them as querystring parameters on the form action(e.g. <form 
action="/doAction?addMe=here&me=too">)
      If so, how to do you handle duplicate fields?

Should the workflow be structured such that the user is never allowed to enter 
(html) form data whose resulting submittal might require authentication?

Would it not be desired to notify the user ahead of time that some action 
requires login?

I am very interested to see how this one turns out.  I have a few suggestions 
if anyone is interested in hearing them.
