Client-side state saving is extremely vulnerable to security hacks,
something Christian and I have discussed extensively. The problem is, with
client-side scripting, all the trust is on the client. You've got to have
something on the server (or some other trust provider) to cross reference
the request or else you are just asking for trouble.

That's a lot of what the s:token tag is about...which we will be reviewing
soon as we bring it into Seam 3.
