Yes.  It is, however, a question worth asking if Seaside is the right
basis for this kind of client/server app: for example, Seaside goes to
a lot of effort to support page-based concepts like the back button
that may not exist (for better or for worse) in a GMail-style app, or
if they do are probably implemented with client-side JS hacks.  Is
there some totally different design that would make more sense in this
world?
