DataContext is serializable. I serialize the read-only one in a session.
However, I don't want to serialize the entire modifiable context and
everything it contains as client-side state. I only want to write
out specific objects for performance reasons.
When you serialize a DataObject without a DataContext, it's your
responsibility to reconnect your DataObject back to a DataContext.
