Perhaps one of the things that adds some confusion here is the P&C's
[Widgets-Views] reference is to the "Widgets 1.0: Media Query
Extension" spec whereas I believe the plan of record is for that
reference to point to a completely different document (for which
there currently is no Editor's Draft), probably titled something like
"Widgets 1.0: {Window,View} Modes".
As all of us that have attended the weekly calls over the last few
months know, the priorities have been P&C, DigSig and A&E, and Marcos
in particular has done an exceptional job to move those specs forward.

Robin and Marcos have agreed to be Editors of the View Modes spec. As
always, what we need is specific inputs. Marcin, if you have some
inputs for the View Modes spec, please send them to the list. Note
too that last week, Bryan agreed to provide input for the View Modes
spec [1].
