If by "specialized behaviors" you mean things that typically involve some 
sequence of user interaction, primarily dealt with by WATask or Ajax 
equivalents, I include these as well. I think much of these can be automated 
by generic components + suitable metadata. I'd be interested in other kinds 
of things you consider exceptions as well.

I was looking more for guidance on plain scale of # of components. If a page 
shows 5 primary domain objects in some detail, but show another 100 domain 
objects in summary, some of them multiple times (e.g. just their names), 
should I use 105+ components instances or just 5?
