The difference between SPFC and ECS is simply that SPFC tries to solve 
a different problem than ECS tries to solve. SPFC provides a framework where people can use an object model similar to JFC. One portion of SPFC is similar to ECS in that it is attempting to make it easier to create HTML Objects such as Forms and Tables, but it does this at a higher level than ECS. 


SPFC could easily use ECS within its framework in order to generate the HTML for you. This is similar to what the Document object does in ECS. Rightnow, in SPFC, there is hard coded HTML strings within the framework. It would be beneficial to SPFC to remove the hard coded HTML strings and replace them with the ECS HTML generation objects.


In the end, if SPFC used ECS to do it html generation, one could consider SPFC to be a higher level collection of ECS objects.


By using ECS at a lower level, you also get all of the added feature of ECS, such as XML generation and Filtering of the data output streams.
