Re: Widgets Re: ISSUE-237 (Define Mobile Web Applications)

If that's what widget means, then it sounds related to what BP2 should
be about, since they are just web pages with some extra information.
Will there be BPs about widgets per se? I doubt it, as it sounds like
this is a technology that is not even yet standardized, let alone
implemented in practice, and we're here to codify existing practice
only. (Well there's a point that deserves discussion if it's not
agreed.) But it sounds like we want to write about existing practice
on the same set of technologies that underpin the widgets you
describe, and nothing suggests specifically excluding this application
of web technologies.
