Old text: If, during Consumer URL rewriting, the Consumer adds namespace 
perfixes to parameter names within the URL (note this does not include 
field names in HTML forms), then the Consumer MUST remove those prefixes 
befoer passing the parameter name to the Producer so that the Producer 
receives information in the manner it placed it in the markup. ....

Proposed text: Consumer URL and form processing has been designed so that 
namespace prefixing is not needed to qualify portlet URL parameters, 
portlet form parameters, or resource URL parameters.  This allows 
consumers to avoid unnecessary processing when dispatching client 
requests. Portlets choosing to namespace such elements MUST be prepared to 
receive these parameters with their namespace prefix still attached as 
Consumers MUST never remove any prefixes. 

Reasoning: Clarity
