This is a response to Bert Bos' review [1] of the Widgets 1.0 Requirements document [2]. > 2. Design Goals > > COMMENT 12) Ad "Compatibility with other standards": I don't think this > is a requirement on its own. It's subordinate to "ease of use." Ease of > use can often be helped by building on the users' existing knowledge, > including well-known standards, but that's just a rule of thumb, not a > requirement. The focus of this design goal was for the benefit of both vendors and users. We feel that having them as separate design goals emphasizes our commitment to using other standards AND making things as easy to use as as possible for everyone (particularly for developers that would need to work with the spec). -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-appformats/2007Feb/0131.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-widgets-reqs-20070209/
