For the agenda discussion...

1. Widget view modes (http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vmmf/ 
<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vmmf/> ). In section 3.2 "Presentation 
properties" it says the default view-mode of 'floating' is sized controlled by 
the widget. Is this correct? To me the size control for 'floating' should be 
the same as for 'application', i.e. "dependent on widget or user agent, the 
actual width and height may be overidden by the user agent". Since the user 
agent controls the layout of the widget desktop it also must be able to 
ultimately control the sizing of the widgets, right? Othervise, what should it 
do with a widget not fitting to a specific layout, not display it at all? Maybe 
this is described somewhere and I just didn't see it...

2. Widgets API (http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ 
<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/> ). I don't see any methods for 
changing the view-mode from within the widget (requirement 37, 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-reqs-20090430/#display-mode-api-and-events 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-reqs-20090430/> ). Is it there without me 
finding it or will it come in a later version (or has it been removed as 
requirement)? I hope it is there (or will come) because for many use cases it's 
essential to move to/from full-screen display programatically. Also I think 
it's important to get an event when the user agent has changed view-mode and/or 
width/height of an widget but maybe that is also coming in a later version?

3. It would be very nice to be able to write a widget desktop in SVG (or in 
HTML if someone would consider that ;-). To enable this it must be a way to 
access a Widget API from the HTML/SVG JS context and to have position, size, 
viewmode control through this API. Is this something that is considered by the 
WG?
