Yes, I thought of the scenario where "uamhomepage" is your internal
portal containing not just the auth form but also, say, manuals. I call
such a portal "the reception desk", to communicate to the users it is
not just a login screen. In this analogy, among giving "keys out" (to
the Internet, in this case), the portal also provides help as to "where
to go to".

Yes, you talk about "wpaguests", right? I kinda oversaw this but am
already working on a revised patch.
