Re: "one web requirement" for widgets from December workshop

Hi Art,

I think I heard you say something different at the workshop, which is  
why I'm pinging you...

I think that there are a few places where this requirement goes beyond  
what's in the Design Goals, and also beyond Motherhood and Apple Pie  
-- specifically, reusability of the signature framework for Web  
Applications (this one should be relatively easy), and resource  
identification, i.e., the pesky URI scheme debate (this one is less  
likely to be easy).


Cheers,
