I think that you are misinterpreting the spec, see "PLT 8.4. Custom Porlet Modes"
Portlet Modes are defined by the *portal vendor*. If Websphere decided to add a portlet mode, that portlet mode would not work in any other portal vendor. request.getPorletMode() returns the correct value, the declared mode has to match a mode known by the porlal vendor. But this is out of scope of the current forum thread.
