Programmability in the web sense was immediately enabled, the portal became a composable platform and we were able to layer the Lotus Workplace offering on top of it.
URIs give visibility to intermediaries and so things like caching (where we had cool technologies like Dynacache) were far more easily enabled.
Similarly for logging and profiling the portal, we could use the same tools for processing logs as exist for regular web servers like Apache.
We had new opportunities for pipelining and filter chains (to do transcoding if needed).
We had more options for load balancing, we could decide to deal with remote portlets through iframe invocation rather than through immature and complex protocols like WSRP. And so on...
