	 * that are enforced at the type level. The primary path mapping (i.e. the
	 * specified URI value) still has to uniquely identify the target handler, with

	 * differentiators, i.e. the primary portlet mode mapping plus the parameter
	 * conditions uniquely identify the target handler. Different handlers may be
	 * mapped onto the same portlet mode, as long as their parameter mappings differ.
