You can check out the first implementation by asking for the 'portlet_api'
CVS branch.

Yes. Controls and Controllers will also change to a new lifecycle closer to the
portlet one. This will avoid a lot of object instanciation in the rendering process
thus making Jetspeed more efficient.
There was also discussion about changing PSML syntax (see mail archives) but this
will depend a lot on user feedback and backward compatibility issue. One of the goal
of the new PSML system being to easily allow file-based and DBMS-based
implementations...

Not yet, but I guess this will start as soon as 1.3a2 is out...
