[wsrp-coord] Use properties to expose transient state?

Q: Do we want to expand the current
property concept to include published transient state?

[RDT] I think this would be the simplest
model for developers. State is all stored in properties, what varies is
the lifetime of that state. What we have now is "persistent state"
and therefore survives application cycles, etc. Transient state should
have a lifetime similar to that of a session.

A side-effect of the decision to support
Consumer generated UIs for customizing persistent state is the need to
distinguish between persistent and transient properties. The subcommittee
last working on this proposed organizing the properties into models, each
of which could then indicate the lifetime of the model. Comments? Other
proposals?
