Description:
The MarkupType field in MarkupParams 
should be an array.  The array values indicate the mime-types it is 
acceptable to return with the first element in the array being the preferred 
type.  This corresponds to HTTP semantics and allows a consumer to do 
mime-type mapping.  A common usage is to say I support HTML and XML where 
what I mean is HTML is preferred (its what is returned to the client) but if you 
send me an XML response that self references a stylesheet that generates HTML, I 
will process this response to get the HTML for the final response.  There 
are other less common situations where portals may want to translate from a 
specific markup to another.
