Yes. If the users want to do that, it is very good to let them do it, and 
the next time when they'll come, they will see that they can't access that 
page without re-logging again, and we might also get the original URI that 
was requested, and after they log in, they could be forwarded to the wanted 
URL.

Why does this matter? Don't allow the user to bookmark a page because the 
URL that will be accessed doesn't look nice?

That common sense is bad sense, and this is the main reason I put that 
question.
