Interesting… pointer to these indicators would be nice (or would be
nice to hear from WG members).
Tobie kicked up some dust here:

I can't seem to track down pointers right when I need them, but this
spurred a fair amount of commentary, including from some people who work
for implementers agreeing that the current situation is stupid and needs
to be fixed.
It would be a shame to close the door right as it looks like it might
happen.
Agree. However, an alternative serialisation of the Widget's metadata
can be specified in the Native Web Apps CG and then a WG home can be
found.
Sure, I'm happy for the work on this to take place in the NWA CG since
that seems like a fit home for it, but it needs a place to be properly
standardised. My hope is that this place can be the WebApps WG. Given
that the discussion would take place elsewhere, and that the result is
pretty much in charter, I would hope that this should be agreeable to
all.
I'll write it that way into the charter draft. I also hope that it is seen
that way by the WG.
