RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #206] Values for extensible items suchas modes

I'm attempting to describe 3.

It's also hard to understand the difference between Consumer and custom
modes. I'm still wondering what the real value of Consumer modes is, since
consumers need not limit themselves to std and Consumer modes in 4. A JSR168
portlet is going to be defined for a fixed set of std and custom modes and
the producer may just list all in portletDescription.

regards,
Andre

The interaction that I understand the spec to lay out for areas such as 
modes is:
 
 1. Portlets can specify what modes are supported prior to registration, 
though I suspect many implementations will restrict access to such 
information until after registration.
 2. Consumer tells Producer what modes it uses for its aggregated pages.
 3. After registration, PortletDescription specifies what std + Consumer + 
custom modes the portlet understands.
 4. There is a conformance statement in 6.1.9 that requires Consumers to 
use one of the modes from #3 for perform*Interaction & getMarkup.

What is missing from this set that this change request is trying to add?

Document: Spec
Section: 6.1.9 and 7.1.1
Page/Line: 31/13
Requested by: Andre Kramer
Old text: mode:
New text: mode: Values for mode may be taken from the 
RegistrationData.consumerModes list provided by the consumer on 
registration but not all values sent need have been declared on 
registration.

Reason: Should we remove consumerModes in registration data or make a 
conformance statement?
Similar change request for windowStates and 
RegistrationData.consumerWindowStates.
