Yes. Sorry, I forgot to delete SimplePortletFormController and mention 
the name change. When I introduced the other classes I got pretty 
confused by all these PortletSomething names, so I decided to keep the 
names as used in the org.springframework.web.servlet tree. This way the 
correspondence between classes is obvious and the names are simpler.

I know :-(. But I still haven't heard any good reason why not to allow 
RenderRequest attributes, so maybe they'll make up their minds.
