Here are a few more comments:

Preface, p38 -- Cross site request forgery (not client side request forgery)

2.5.3.1 -- StateHelper should be mentioned here

7.6.2.4 -- awkward sentence -- should be more like "ViewHandler has several
methods for handling cross-site scripting protecting. These method names
all have the text "protectedView" and are covered in the Javadocs."

7.6.3 -- very vague -- doesn't even explain what the View Protection API is.

I feel like we need a section explaining what "view protection" is, how it
relates to CSRF, and points readers to the relevant sections (perhaps it's
there and I missed it...)
