This is what I'm saying as well.  What's missing is a (useful) link from
the browser to these applications because the browser is still an unbeaten
tool for user interaction.

Anyway, this request from W3C was the "inspiration" for my posting:

Naturally I don't want to stop anybody from trying to build wallets into the
browser. I (FWIW) just don't see that as a suitable W3C project since there's
no "blueprint" while native wallets (and similar applications) are here today.
