I have a very large modal dialog though that actually acts a view portal to a 
WOComponent that holds collection of information - all child components. So, it 
is less "dialog" than "full sheet" with actions available on it. In one of the 
child components I was considering having a modal dialog show an expanded set 
of data. Not THE best solution - I understand. But I was curious what others 
might do. I'm not inclined to update the entire "portal" sheet with the other 
data. Maybe the parent modal thing should actually be a modal container.

I've done it this way because I want the user to feel as though they haven't 
navigated to a different place to view the content on the "sheet." This is 
actually kind of important in this case.
