No. An Application is a Portlet that essentially must take 100% of the
screen real estate because it's UI is large. iCalendar should be an
application, user customization should be an application.
The metaphor really isn't that great. I am not sure how long the
Application concept will be around for. Clearly we can do this with
some meta info.

That is interesting. I think it is a good idea. But should it be
implemented with the public PSML thread we talked about or another
mechanism?
The more I think about it, publishing PSML content as web content could
be *really* cool.

We need to do pathinfo with /layout/none. Right now the
PortletViewerScreen can except ?raw=true and it will internally strip
the layout. This was stupid of me though :( Total hack :(

You can get the above by setting the navigations in
JetspeedResources.properties to JetspeedNoTopNavigation, etc. There
needs to be a better way to do this. IMO
I want to get a way to specify Layout via the URI. (see
EmptyLayout.java). I experimented with /layout/EmptyLayout and gave up
after 5 minutes :)... I am sure you could trivially hack it to work
again.
