Web aps should be web aps, not web aps plus > client-side aps. mailto: URIs do not make an application a client-side app; they provide information which can be processed by another application, which may or may not be a client-side app. This no more violates some concept of what a web application is or is not than the fact that many of them feature human-readable text that must be processed by a brain rather than another part of the web-app. The application that may process the mailto: URI would need to comply with 1194.21 if appropriate, but that's not your problem.Received on Monday, 18 August 2003 10:16:23 GMT
