Hi,

A follow-up question for both Tizen and FirefoxOS systems -

Can devices have more than one version of the same application installed 
at the same time?  And can there be independent instances of each 
version running?  E.g., can I have version 0.1 and version 0.2 of 
app://example.com installed, and then run two instances of version 0.1 
and two instances of version 0.2 (making four total instance) at the 
same time?

I'm trying to get the cardinality of entities right: for every installed 
application there may be multiple runtime instances.  Every installed 
application will have one origin.  But can two or more installed 
applications (not instances) have the *same origin*?

Many thanks,

John
