Widgets draft questions and remarks

   Hello to all mailing list members.

  First, let me introduce myself: I am Thomas Landspurg, CTO of Mobease, and
we are doing in other things a Widget Engine for mobile.

  I have a few questions regarding the current draft:

- when the paragraph 1.1 will be clarified (relationship to webpage embedded
widgets). The focus of the document seemsl to be clearely desktop widgets,
right?

- relation to mobile: the mobile reference has been made several times, as
well as the "platform independence" notion. From our experience, even if on
the technical point of view you can probably create widgets that can run
easly on web and mobile (a simple clock for instance), it's usually much
more relevent to have different version, because:
- UI is different (no mouse, limited keyboard)
- different input device (camera, bluetooth, voice, etc...)
- usage pattern is different
- technical constraint are differents (memory, CPU speed, etc...)

So how do we want to address such problem? Are they two different widgets?
Is it the same widgets with specific case depending of the device?

Anyway, I would be happy to see a requirement adressing this issue
