That's true, but the RP will probably need to handle the success case
differently for immediate mode anyway (e.g. it will have to do AJAX to
update the page) so I expect it to have a specific return_to URL for
immediate requests. Since using a different return_to is trivial, I
prefer the consistency of negative responses.
