[jsr356-experts] getParameterMap and 1.1 TCK

In the WebSocket javadoc for HandshakeRequest.getParameterMap it says that
it returns:
Map<String,List<String>>
Return the request parameters associated with the request.

That seems to mirror what is written in the javadoc for
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getParameterMap
where it says: Returns a java.util.Map of the parameters of this request

So for this request: ws://whatever:8080/myWebSocketApp/123?abc=345

one might expect that key:abc - value:345 would be in the parameter map
return from HandshakeRequest.getParameterMap

But, the TCK seems to enforce that both of the following be in the
parameter map
key:abc - value:345 and
key:{user-path-param-name} - value:123

That seems to be mixing two types of paramters (websocket path params, and
http request query string parameters) into one
map, and seems to expand what is meant in the javadoc ("websocket path
parameters", rather than "servlet request parameters").

Seems to me the 1.1 TCK is wrong here, no?
