This message is in response to Marcos request to review 18n proposal/discussion for widgets packaging [1]. I haven't seen any updates or proposed updates to requirements so I'm going only from what's in the proposal and what little has been submitted to the list.
Robin's email [2] answers some questions I had [3] about resource dereferencing and resolution and proposes some additional processing rules which I support. Namely, I support Robin's proposals for "Dereferencing URI in configuration document" and "Finding missing localized content". My view is that for v1 we should simplify the matter; UA has one locale and Widget content can be localized through folders, and therefore support proposals; A2, B2 Need more info, like requirements and UC for me to support widget locale considerations - C and D proposals. Lastly, on the case sensitivity topic [4] I support the idea of one match as proposed in b. "b) we select an order of priority and we only consider one (the first to match); .... b): if multiple locale subdirectories have the same case-insensitive name, then the one that comes first in ASCII- code order (e.g. in order: EN, En, eN, en) is used and the others are ignored."
