Leverage viewState util methods to encode window state

[fatzopilot]

Hi,

I noticed diverse util methods in DS.getViewState() like serialization etc. to encode the state of the DS in a String.
Can they somehow be leveraged to encode the state of other widgets (like encoding the state of a window) from Java code?
How could this be accomplished?
I ask this because I seek to avoid defining my own "DSL" for that purpose...

Thanks
