JSF1.2: Why does a method to handle an Action Event start in the PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION phase?

Sun's JavaServer Faces implementation (1.2_04-b10-p01) Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0_01 (build b02-p01) Why does an actionListener start in the PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION phase? When I place a breakpoint in my method bounded to the components binding attribute, I check the PhaseId and it's always in INVOKE_APPLICATION phase. I'm *guessing* a PostBack has occurred and this phase is where JSF handles any application-level events?
