Consumer-generated event UIs

[Stefan Hepper <sthepper@hursley.ibm.com>]

Hi all,
we have the following use case we would like to discuss in the TC:

- a portlet displays contact information about persons (name, email, 
phone, etc)
- other portlets accept such person information as event input parameter
- the consumer would like to generate a UI, e.g. popup that would allow 
the user to choose to which other portlet this information should be 
sent (e.g. the menu can contain things like: add to addressbook, send 
email, call)
- after selecting one item of the list the consumer would issue an event 
to the target portlet

A similar paradigm is used in the windows explorer with the sendTo popup 
menu.

Given that we allow something in that direction for CSS I would like to 
extend this to events and allow the producer annotating the markup so 
that the consumer can insert the corresponding markup for the popup.
