It seems quite likely to me that some sort of solution to this is likely to happen in JSF 2.0 -- and Shale's experience with dialogs will certainly be an input to the decision of how to implement the JSF part of things (hint hint: so try them out please, so you can help provide feedback :-). But, as with all JCP standards, it really ends up being up to the expert group on the details of exactly how a particular concept will get implemented. As for the rest of the web tier stack, I lobby my friends in the platform area for lots of thngs ... who knows what might show up later there. But I've specifically gotten interest from Ed and Roger (the JSF spec leads) on proposing that we deal with dialogs (and the related state saving and cleanup mechanisms) in a JSF 2.0 time frame.
