So, the Favorites portlet needs a meta-fragment into which to shove the user's favorites. The meta-fragment doesn't display as a tab, but it benefits from all the features of DLM for providing users a default set of Favorites (not entirely clear that we're actually going to provide any default favorites here at Wisc, but it's a nice feature that falls out from using DLM fragments for this.)

I'm attracted to a convention-over-configuration flavored solution of naming such meta fragments starting with _ and then filtering out such fragments in non-meta contexts.

I see some other meta-fragments in trunk that I don't yet understand (Authenticated? Resondr? NonRespondr?). I'll go understand those better before the end of Favorites, I'm sure.

But: is uPortal already doing something interesting to identify and filter out meta-fragments? How do others feel about a "meta fragments start with underscores" approach to make this more convention-driven?
