RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #142] Remove performInteraction() ?

[Andre Kramer <andre.kramer@eu.citrix.com>]

Portlet developers need not see perform(non-blocking)Interaction (as in JSR
168). One thing we can't do with render URLs / getMarkup is post form data.
Or have complex inputs generally, which seems a bit of a hole in our 2 op
model.

Andre

I vote for the "less is more" argument. One less complex concept to 
understand and program to for portal developers!
