Say you are writing an activate event handler, meant to guard the page against access without a provided token.

void onActivate(String token) {
// validate the token
}

Object onPassivate()

{ return _token; }

Great ... but what about the case where the user omits the token?

Object onActivate() {
return _invalidAuthorizationPage; // Redirect away
}

But with the current setup, this gets invoked BEFORE onActivate(String) so there's no hope of actually using the page, even with the security token.
