It should be.

That sounds like the right idea. Wrap 'view' as a WorkflowMethod, and set 
up a transtion that either moves the content from 'unread' to 'read', or 
stays in state and updates a variable that default to 'unread', as it sounds 
like that kind of information is less like a state and more like a flag of 
some sort.
