Great. I've added some comments to some of your requirements
in order to foster discussion and provide my own requirements
at the end.

I'm not sure what you're saying there:
You want the Portlet API to provide a service lookup interface.
The definition of the real services interface would be external
to the Portlet API. No portal would be required to implement
a given service. Correct ?
My own requirement not previously listed :
- the Portlet API should allow only well-formed XML compliant
output from the Portlet.
Rationale: this would guarantee that the portal can always
post-process the portlet output if needed and would prevent
a portlet from breaking the display with a non well-formed
output.
It's the only one I can add right now.
