[Seaside] Seaside sessions and ajax

[Sebastian Sastre]

Hi Lukas, all,

	I wonder again about the backbutton and ajax. How far or near we are
of making the user agent's back button and Seaside continuations magic to
work with updaters?

	If I want to help to achieve that where would be a place to start?
What readings do you have to suggest?

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
