cjc1083's proposed attack vector is an interstitial page which drops a Java/Flash 0-day on you and forwards you to your original target site, leaving you compromised and none the wiser. My point is that if you can even do the redirect in the first place, it's much simpler to just iframe in the attack page and do the drop directly rather than waiting on user input to do it in a manner that they might notice.
