Description

as per the confusions around:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PB-84

and:
http://www.nabble.com/StringIndexOutOfBoundsException-on-apache-bridges-td20055052.html#a20079383

PorletSessionImpl#setAttribute will sometimes store attributes into APPLICATION_SCOPE, going against the portlet spec. There is also no explanation in the source code as to why.

Please add explanation or correct the behavior.
