Would it be possible to make DataModel serializable? Both Seam and Spring Faces have to override the built-in DataModel implementations just to add this interface, and it's really unnecessary.
http://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.1.1.GA/api/org/jboss/seam/jsf/ListDataModel.html
http://static.springframework.org/spring-webflow/docs/2.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/faces/model/SerializableListDataModel.html
This seems like a pretty trivial change to make.
