[wsrp] [CR315] - Producers SHOULD or MAY do userProfile name mapping
Document: Specification 2.0 Draft

Requested by: Subbu Allamaraju

Section: 5.1.2 PortletDescription Type

Page: 25

Line: 17

Old Text:

Any use of additional userProfile items specified as available when the
Consumer registered SHOULD use the names the Consumer supplied.

New Text:

Any use of additional userProfile items specified as available when the
Consumer registered MAY use the names the Consumer supplied.

Reasoning:

The current text places the burden on the producer to do the mapping. Since
this requires the producer to change the portlet description after registration,
producers will be required to maintain different portlet description for
each portlet (even for POPs). The changed text 

would place less burden on producers. Producers can still do the mapping,
but it should be completely optional (MAY).
