That sounds better, but I'm still not clear on the intent. It sounds speculative, and does not seem to add value. On a related note, since the Consumer may or not may supply all/some public parameters with each request, shouldn't we add a statement/guideline that portlets be prepared to work reasonably well even when those parameters are not supplied?
