That's true, but that are imho two different concerns: the page flow and the "continuation handling". Now, perhaps someone else can help here a little bit. I discusses the contination handling in flow with Ovidiu a little bit during the last ApacheCon and I think he mentioned that it's very easy to extend the current handling by defining an own component (extending the existing one). Using this approach, you can e.g. store the cont id in a cookie or somewhere else, or you can do checks if the continuation is still ok and perhaps also do your client cache handling. You do this once, in this central component and never have to touch all your flow based applications. They simply work the way you expect them to work. (I hope, I'm not wrong with this approach...)
