The current layout only respects the default modes view, help and edit.

If an application defined an additional mode like "config" the portal should 
offer a new button beside the other buttons for "edit" and "help". Some generic 
icons would do, or just the name of the mode.

Use case:
Websphere knows a mode called config that overwrites default preferences ofthe 
portlet.xml and is only accessible by administrators. Settings changed in 
config mode are default values for users in edit mode, but can be changed by 
users.

To implement this behavior on jboss we had (among other things) to add a button 
in the jsp for the edit mode to get to the config mode. If jboss respected the 
declared mode and request.getPortletMode() returned the correct value we would 
not have to do that.
