[jsr-314-open] JSF 2.1 ajax spec enhancements - partialSubmit

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

What I (rather poorly) alluded to, was the fact that we will need to
decide how to handle fields defined in the form that are not passed
back during the partial page submit.

 Actually, now that I think about this more, I don't think it would be
much different at all than the current behavior of partial view
traversal that we do now for Ajax submits. Since we already ignore the
other fields, it would most likely be a trivial (client side) change
to send only the specified fields. Is there any part of the
server-side Ajax processing that depends on having all form fields in
the request? I don't believe so (at least not in the spec).
