I do think he should have at least let Nynaeve, Tam and Perrin know. Mat kinda dissapointed me by being so indifferent to Rand's death, so maybe not bothering to tell him wouldn't be such a big deal.
Theres another, related thing that kinda bugs me about his decision. What about all his AOL knowledge?

That was my interpretation as well. I think it was an attempt at showing Rand's humility. *NM*

I can agree with keeping it secret from just about everyone, BUT his father and closest friends.

Even if she would just have been burned out there was no reason to think it permanent.

One point- the DO didn't break free, Rand dragged him out into the Pattern, specifically to kill him

I thought it was largely believed that Nakomi is an avatar of the Creator. *NM*

It's one of the dominant theories, not sure it's the one favoured by the majority, but maybe *NM*

I agree. Rand carries a man out of SG who he didn't bring there- logic dictates he is Forsaken *NM*

Impossible to say, but I doubt he intended to keep his inner circle perpetually in the dark.
