My understanding is that actions are a way to support multi-page portlets.
E.g., a search portlet has two buttons "prev" and "next", each one is a
separate action. The portlet receives this action and generates a new page
accordingly. It can generate it as part of the action invocation or in a
later phase (getFragment).

      I would like to open another discussion parallel to our session
      debate.
      From the perspective of the protocol defined in the latest draft I
      can't
      figure out the semantic difference between performAction and
      getFragment.  Each seem to be capable of returning the same stuff.
      Why
      do we need both?  I.e. how are they semantically different?
