I haven't read all the threads about the widget URI scheme, but I
wanted to contribute this thought:
Instead of using a UUID as the authority, you might consider using a
public key. You could then require that the widget is signed by the
cooresponding private key.
FWIW, this is what we do in Chrome extensions which share some design
ideas with widgets. It works really well for us and we are super happy
with it.
Just out of curiosity, would you mind expanding on the "design ideas"
that you share with widgets that make you so happy? We're interested
in happiness :) Also, do you think that beyond design ideas you could
at some point reuse the concrete specifications that we've developed,
and if not why, what's missing, etc.? Thanks!
