Hi,

I'm happy to report that the Widgeon project now passes all the P+C test suites 
as they exist today (see attached report).

I'd like to say that this is one nicely written spec that makes it easy for 
implementers to know what they need to do — a lot of the code is just done by 
following the steps. The test suite has good coverage, it helped us find 
several bugs. One thing that we found to be an issue is that URI/IRI-parsing 
libraries don't really validate IRIs or make it easy to do so, and so the 
requirement on some attributes to be valid IRIs may be overkill (especially 
since it doesn't seem to bring that much value).

Widgeon (http://code.google.com/p/widgeon/) is an open source, XULRunner-based 
implementation of P+C and Widget URIs. You can tinker with it if you know 
XULRunner. At this point in time only the source version is available, more 
easily usable builds will be made available later. Don't use it to run 
arbitrary widgets, its security has yet to be assessed fully.
