Hi Tim,
In [1], it sounds to me like you are after W3C Widgets [2]; we have
almost finished standardizing them so no need to wait.
You can play with them today in Opera [3] and a bunch of other great
runtimes [4].
Kind regards,
Marcos

As above. I thought that was what we (Web Apps WG - Widgets) have been
doing for the last 5 years?
Maybe I've missed part of the specifications - are you telling me
that I
can package up an HTML,CSS,JS based application as per the widgets
specification, include a WARP, Digital Signature, set the view-mode to
windowed and that this will run as is, in the main browser context of
the main browser vendors (Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, IE etc)?
Ah! ok. I get it now. No, that won't work right now (actually, that's
how we run them in our development environment for testing purposes
:) ). But that is trivial and no one has really asked for that.
Good to know, and you can consider me as asking for it!
I'm still a bit lost as to what the use case is?
following up, see "Web Apps -- requirements for installation and
management" from TimBL:
