Currently the XMLPortletController has the major drawback that it requires
well-formed XML to output anything, thus it breaks with ECS code outputting
HTML instead of XHTML, and may break with FilePortlet...
I really think all portlets should be forced to output XML compliant
markup in order to be able to switch controller at will. I assume it's only
a configuration issue in ECS but I don't have any satisfactory solution for
FilePortlet.
