Josh,
Thats what I thought originally. This is for a ModalDialog using
Taha's addon. When someone clicks "more info" it pops up with a modal
dialog box and the contents are determined by this method. If I
return a String, Tapestry tries to find a page that matches the String
and return that instead of just rendering it in the modal dialog box.
