I doubt they would do that, part of the reason behind portals success is the fact it's tied into the half life universe. I'm almost certain there will be more references, and back story in the second one.

Or maybe the unique puzzle aspect.

While I agree that the puzzle aspect was cool. I have never liked games without some story behind them.

Portal 1 was a tech demo, an experiment. Now that they know it can succeed on it's own they don't want it to tie in with HL2 too much.
