All,

I am very worried about this API for multiple reasons.

First, it was invented for Tizen 1.0 as a Œpoor-mans¹ WebIntents. That is,
temporary API similar to WebIntents and plan was to replace that in Tizen
2.0 with proper WebIntents. We all know what happened with WebIntents. It
is dead but this API is not.

Second, it is very complex API and may not work properly even in Tizen
2.x. It would require a lot of time to develop, review, test and debug.
Big effort.

Third, as I have said several times, we should focus on implementing fewer
APIs but making sure the ones we do work properly. In my books, this API
does not be belong to the category we should implement now. We need to
check our stakeholders, namely IVI program, and see if they need this API.

So before we have a clear need for this API, I would put the
implementation effort on hold.
