Title: 
Should non-markup calls receive user profile?
Date Added:

Description:

Currently, the user profile is sent as 
part of the user context. The user context is sent not only to the markup calls 
[getMarkup + the interaction calls] but also the calls in the entity factor and 
getServiceDescription.  Must the consumer supply the user profile details 
on these calls?  Its seems questionable whether there is any value to the 
producer to receive the user profile outside of 
getmarkup/performinteraction.  Also though we allow an entity to say it 
stores user profile information in its session, the session is only passed 
to/between the markup calls -- so if we require these other calls have access to 
the user profile then the information will always have to be attained and sent 
as the entity can't get back to it state.
