Mmmh well I can't find any wp_login_form.php but a wp_login.php that I
am currently duplicating to be available from the frontend, integrated
into a choosen page.

wp_rewrite will take over the whole target page whereas I want to use
it so the WP admins can set/edit the title and a descriptive text for
the registration page and also link to it from the new nav_menu
system.

I never talked about banning short-codes and I make extensive use of
them in my project.

But it is a waste of ressources to set a shortcode that will be used
only ONCE in a website of over 300 pages....

So I decided to use the do_action('registration_form') approach. It is
added manually for now but it will override the target page template
with its own when finished.

Now i face the problem (that I will have faced using shortcodes) that
I can't set any header, either for setting cookies or for
redirecting...
