opps...I missed the @match attribute on first (and second) reading of
the spec for p:viewport...which had me a bit at a lost for the use of
viewport.

in any event, this raises the question of  p:insert, p:delete, and
p:replace steps....

one suggestion, why not roll up the 3 steos into one step called p:update ?

and what about p:read-port ? perhaps a bit too 'active' in meaning.
