Subject: Target OWNER parameter in requestNavigateTo

I've seen this mentioned a few places but couldn't find an official request
for it, so here is a request to be able to supply a target owner's ID in the
requestNavigateTo function.

Currently, opensocial.requestNavigateTo() redirects the viewer to the
current owner's context.

There are certain use cases where linking to another user's context would be
useful (e.g. "View my friend's application canvas", "Redirect the page to
another user's profile") which are not possible with the current API.

The requested feature is an additional parameter that may be passed to
requestNavigateTo() which accepts a user's ID number.  When the function is
called with this parameter, the supplied user's context is given as the
owner.
