What about Portlets (JSR168) ?

Hello! Many vendors are releasing their JSR168 portlet containers and developing this kind of portlets using echo would be great. How do you see the future of the Echo framework in portlet containers? As a portlet developer, should I look into a different framework?
Since Echo does not use a "page metaphor" for delivering its web content, it does not directly align with a portlet.
And hence the "do action then show a different view" capabilities of the portlet are not directly implementable.
However Echo is embeddable inside an IFRAME and I know of 2 portlet vendors that have "IFRAME portlet containers" so this can be a way forward.
