FEATURE REQUEST: Jump to Report with rs:, rc: parameters

FEATURE REQUEST (already submitted to sqlwish@.microsoft.com): Allow rs: and
rc: parameters as an exception to the "CLR-compliant parameter name" rule
within Navigation Parameter properties.
Background: I have created a custom report manager that displays reports
within an IFRAME. With URL access, the rc:LinkTarget points to the IFRAME
name.
Problem: Using the "Jump to report" navigation does not carry the
rc:LinkTarget=iframename parameter forward to the linked report. Subsequent
clicks break the report out of the IFRAME. The workaround, dynamically
creating the URL, is cumbersome and limits report portability. In the
Navigation tab (Parameters button), I tried to set rc:LinkTarget as a
parameter with iframename as the value, which produced a compilation error,
that parameter names must be CLR-compliant. This is true except for rs: and
rc: parameters. Please consider allowing a report to compile and publish
with rs: and rc: parameters specified in the Jump to... links.
Thanks,

---I should have mentioned an alternative (also sent to sqlwish):
FEATURE REQUEST ALTERNATIVE: Provide an option to automatically carry
rc:LinkTarget paramters forward in linked (Jump to) reports.
