FYI... Robin implemented the PAG Recommendations [1] for Widget Updates
in the latest Ed [2]. See below. Work continues and we hope to be ready
to publish next week.
Taking into account the wide variety of information made available to the PAG,
the following recommendations are given:
1. The WebApps Working Group should continue to work on the Widgets 1.0:
Updates Specification
Yay! :)
2. The WebApps Working Group should change the widgetupdate function name to
updateinfo
Function was removed. We don't need it.
3. The WebApps Working Group should change the update element name to
updatedescription
Done.
4. In section 11, the WebApps Working Group should change the sentence that says "It is
conceivable that the automatic update model could be subject to a man-in-the-middle-attack..."
to say "Because it is not self-contained, it is conceivable that the automatic update model
could be subject to a man-in-the-middle attack..."
Done.
5. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of
"widget.update()" to "checkForUpdate()"
Functions were removed. We don't need them.
6. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of "Updating via
widget.update()" to "Update-checking via checkForUpdate"
Function was removed. We don't need it.
7. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of "[Uu]pdating strategy"
to "[Uu]pdate-checking strategy"
Occurrences all gone.
Kind regards,
Marcos
