Randal Schwartz has a great comment on web apps and bookmarks:

The web is both presentation... and interaction.  Presentation should be bookmarkable. Interaction should not be (except within a limited context).

Seaside makes it easy to do interaction, and possible to do presentation.  Most web frameworks are the other way around.

Part of the problem is that a textual website (like a blog) is easily bookmarkable. People tend to translate that to anything they see on the web, but it's simply not the case with an arbitrary application.
