Additional question: When updating elements in a long-running conversation, is one big update sent to the database when the conversation is explicitly ended? Or are updates being sent to the database throughout the long-running conversation (i.e. every time a page gets submitted), but if the conversation is explicitly ended the transaction is committed and not rolled back?
