I'd appreciate the callback approach, so that you could choose to update bound state on the model or update control settings locally. That seems like a logical balance. Inho (.015), not all state needs to be controled by the model. If I wanted to clear a TextInput field or reset a RadioButtonGroup, based on the result of a command call, currently I'd have to clutter-up the ModelLocator with redundant state variables for these controls. When, in fact, the state of these individual controls is irrelevant to the state of the application. Yes, if the state of individual controls is needed in other parts of the application, it would be necessary to maintain state variables. But, if the controls are isolated inside a view component, they can be more efficiently controled within the component itself.
