[wsrp-wsia] [change request #208] Conformance test requires cyclingConsumer?

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

Document: Spec
Section: 6.1.3
Page/Line: 27/15-19
Requested by: Rich Thompson

Old text: If the portletState field has a value, the Consumer MUST return
this value on subsequent calls using the same portletHandle. Note that such
uses MAY span multiple starting and stopping cycles of the Consumer and
therefore this state MUST be persisted by the Consumer until successfully
invoking destroyPortlets() with the related portletHandle.

New text: If the portletState field has a value, the Consumer MUST return
this value on subsequent calls using the same portletHandle. Note that such
uses can span multiple starting and stopping cycles of the Consumer and
therefore this state MUST be persisted by the Consumer until successfully
invoking destroyPortlets() with the related portletHandle.

Reasoning: The way this is currently worded our conformance test would
require cycling the Consumer (would that be a power cycle or a reboot?). Do
we really want to do that test? This change would eliminate the requirement
on our testing.
