Send event to store, store passes along the error to view? It's an elegant system otherwise, but this really clumsy to me.

I find the idea of Flux fascinating, but one thing I'm a little curious about is where error feedback fits in here... If an AJAX query fails, or something fails validation, how does this information make its way back to the view? If it happens at the action dispatch level, you still have to pass the event through the store? That seems a little... Odd to me.
