We should avoid having to call getPortlet() just to customise. I think
the way would be to move MIME support to the class level (static). So,
we would assume that all instances of a given class portlet would have
the same Mime types supported. This is tricky for static file portlets,
where the supported MIME types would depend on content types of
different resources.

This does not look easy, but it is important, since a site could have
10s of thousands of channels, and the logical way to customise would be
to search using keywords on the meta info of the channel, rather than
instantiate it until it is needed for display.

Other thing. I think that portlets that give an exception during display
should not "disappear", but rather to have a configurable content. In
the case of RSSPortlet it could be a virtual error channel, containing
the error info. Something like "The channel "url" is temporarily
unavailable. Please consult..."

It would be better that having broken portlets disappearing from the
display. IMHO, at least. Obviously, I think this for 1.3a2, not for a1.
What do you think?
