Paul, you guys are awesome!

Piecing together what I saw in the code and your blog post, I have two
questions.

* Is the primary job of a container to provide javascript that
implements. the openSocial.container API? I saw that you read in a
gadget and replace the "require opensocial-0.5" with your own hi5
javascript. Did you write your own implementation of
openSocial.container because Google doesn't have a default
implementation or just because you needed to adapt it to your existing
APIs?

* I saw in your blog post, but not in the code, that you pre-process
the gadget and then pass it off to gmodules.com. Is this right? And if
it is, is it a requirement or could you conceivably process the gadget
yourself? (for rookies like me, the gadget/widget is an XML document
and needs to be converted into an html/js snippit so it can actually
be displayed)

Thanks,
Tony
