Tim, are my emails going to your spam folder or something? Or are you deliberately just ignoring the widget work the W3C already invested 6 years on? We already solved all this stuff in the Widgets specs. I don't know why you keep ignoring them? Please go and read: http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WidgetSpecs Please see: http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/#the-feature-element-and-its-attributes Please see projects like PhoneGap and WAC (that make use of W3C widgets to enable device APIs): http://phonegap.com/ http://specs.wacapps.net/ -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
