ACK.

Just one thing, when the delay=0 and the direction happens quickly, the 
users might see the confirmation and the redirection messages displayed 
briefly on the screen but they cannot read it because it's too quick, 
which might leave them wondering what it was.

I think delay=0 is a special case where we want a seamless integration 
with 3rd party application. If the password reset is completed 
successfully, it should just display the next page in the 3rd party 
application. Users shouldn't see a 'redirection' message. To them it's 
all one application.
