----------------------------------------------------------------
The person who worded that section probably incorrectly assumed that having an
href attribute implied type="url". Take a look at:
http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Gadgets_XML_Reference&oldid=2817#Content_Section
Where it says that the href attribute is not allowed for content types other
than "url". I recently corrected this
(http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Gadgets_XML_Reference&diff=3450&oldid=2817)
as it makes sense not to force people to inline HTML.
Here's another link which to me seems to capture the rationale behind the
limitation:
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/fundamentals.html#URL
The limitation makes sense when the entire rendering process has been
"out-sourced". But for type="html", I don't see any fundamental difference
between inlined HTML and HTML that is referenced. Except of course that
editing standalone HTML is much easier and allows for possible reuse.

Here's a link that to me seems to capture the rationale behind the limitation
that is poorly described in the spec:

It seems to make sense for type="url" content. For type="html", I don't see
any fundamental difference between inlined HTML and HTML that is referenced.

> Key: SHINDIG-1187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1187
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java
> Affects Versions: 1.1-BETA3
> Reporter: Randy Hudson
> Priority: Critical
>
> If gadget XML contains:
> <Content type="html" view="home">
> <![CDATA[
> <p>Why don't I show up?</p>
> ]]>
> </Content>
> <Content type="html" href="/some/more/html/content" view="home"/>
> Only the second content shows up in the rendered gadget. Both sections
> should show up. The restriction related to limits on content with hrefs only
> applies for type="url" content.
