That approach (start with pure JSF, then come back) is probably the wisest. Shale's assumption that JSF exists is so fundamental that it dispenses not only duplicating functionality, but duplicating documentation :-) That's something that will likely need to be improved in the long run. And, as to dialogs, yes ... in the current implementation, back buttons are death (as well as multiple simultaneous dialogs). That's very high on my priority list for *after* the whole darn thing is stable enough for a 1.0.0alpha-quality milestone.
