Dear Art, May I give feedback on an old action item regarding the preference for ECDSA vs. DSA. I hope that T-Mobile's position statement is not too late. T-Mobile favors ECDSA. DSA has no advantage regarding speed and memory consumption against the classic RSA. ECDSA improves the security

Dear Marcos, IMO, it is a good idea to support multiple screenshots that are used to represent a widget in a running state. So, I support your proposal. The PC might not be the right place to define running state. Under the assumption that a widget could be in different running states multiple

Dear Marcos, The current version W3C Working Draft 11 March 2009 does not mention the gallery in Chapter 6.9: A screenshot is an optional file inside the widget resource that graphically represents the widget in a running state. Well, the question is what is a running state and which kind of

Dear Arve, Good point regarding OMTP/BONDI. BONDI supports a security framework for widgets and web pages (or non-widgets). On the other, if widgets in pre-existing implementations may use sensitive resources then I as an attacker would pack my rogue content in a widget resource, add the
