RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #168] Nil desiredLocales => sendAllLocales?

[Andre Kramer <andre.kramer@eu.citrix.com>]

We would loose the ability for a producer to re-order resources (or even
filter the full list, e.g. if we allow "fr" as well as "fr-CA") in the case
where the consumer was also supplying desiredLocale values with
sendAllLocales==true. 

At least the first desiredLocale (if a desiredLocales[0] is given with
sendAllLocales==true) is somewhat likely to be the one provided inline in
LocalizedStrings if the producer does not just blindly return all resources.

regards,
Andre

Document: Spec

Requested by: Mike Freedman

Old text: getServiceDecription(RegistrationContext, desiredLocales, 
sendAllLocales);
Proposed text: getServiceDecription(RegistrationContext, desiredLocales);

Reasoning:
Change the semantics so that an empty/nil desiredLocales merely means send 
them all.  This improves clarity as some of our internal readers think 
"sendAllLocales" qualifies "desiredLocales" vs. is used instead of it. 

If approved, also change this for getPortletDescription.

[RT] Also would apply to getPortletPropertyDescription.
