I don't get it. The overhead of getting all the other browsers to join the WG
you mention is just as high
Can you please detail what overhead that involves? There are only two cases
here:
• You have IP concerns relevant to Web Intents. In that case you need IP
portfolio review. That overhead is the same for joining and for rechartering an
existing group (it's just politically higher in the rechartering case).
• You don't have IP concerns relevant to Web Intents. In that case you
just join the group — zero overhead.
It's a simple solution that just involves clicking through a form. If you have
a political mexican standoff of vendors not joining while the others aren't, it
can hardly be blamed on the process, DAP, WebApps, W3C, or whatever else. I'm
sure that it can be sorted out, though.
Intents were initially added to DAP's charter in good part because Google asked
us to. It's a little annoying to be blamed for doing exactly what you were
asked to do.
There is certainly some overlap between DAP and WebApps. Is that the
issue here, Robin?
I don't have much of a solution for it: I've been looking at DAP as an
incubator with a broad
scope and a good history of experimentation.
