Description

Currently, RequestContext.getSkinFamily() defaults to "minimal" if it is not explicitly set. However, that makes it impossible for a renderkit to pick a different default, as there's no way to tell the difference between a default of "minimal" (which should be overridden) and an explicit user choice of "minimal" (which should be honored).

RequestContext.getSkinFamily() should return null by default, not "minimal"; and the RenderKit should pick what null means.
