Not sure that I parsed your notes correctly, but I see the phrase
"Consumer with multiple Producers?  Need justification."  Doesn't
the simple portal scenario provide this?  If not, the "SmartBuyer"
scenario certainly does.

Suggested rewording:

Consumer's MUST be able to construct documents containing multiple
Presentation Fragments from one or more Producers.  The specification
MAY place restrictions on the supported markup types or Presentation
Fragments.


I don't think we need to say any more than this.  Other requirements
about the division of labor between Consumer and Producer will guide
the specific mechanisms provided to support this requirement.
