Description:

The TAG has openned a new issues, webApplicationState-60, around which to organise discussion of application state management techniques, partitioning of application state between origin servers and web clients, particularly rich web clients.

An earlier draft finding "State in Web application design" http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/state.html is relevant to this issue. 

In addition, recent threads on www-tag and related blog entries have discussed the use of URI fragId and user agent history stacks as a mechanism for managing client side state and for passing parameters from servers to rich web clients.
