Yes, you would have to serialize what's in the ValueStack. This would
be a given. However, a decent programmer should know what he is about
to do by enabling this kind of feature -- probably via a new
interceptor. With regards to security, the contents definitely require
encryption. Base64 encoding isn't stealth.

Yes, it is a type of flash scope. The only difference is that it's not
dependent on a user's session.
