Yes, it is a good article.  The author states that there is not yet a
standard name for the scope that lies somewhere between a request and a
session.  In projects I've worked on, we've called that a
"conversation."

So we have the following scopes:

1. Request (supported automatically)
2. Conversation (requires custom coding, e.g., using <x:saveState>)
3. Session (supported automatically)

When using Struts, we built a framework that used an xml file to specify
which actions used which beans, and then, upon execution of each
request, our framework automatically deleted from the Session those
beans that were not in the list for the action being invoked on that
request.  That was our "conversation."

I'm anxious to try out <x:saveState> to see how it compares....
