okay so don't hit me if I am having 2nd thoughts about removing some of the "what do we mean by" text [which I think is part of what we agreed yesterday to do]... I think it is important to say something about what is meant by a "Web Application" and then to say something about what is different about the mobile context as of the 21st section 1.4.1 opened with the paragraph: For the purposes of this document, the term "web application" refers to a web page (XHTML or a variant thereof + CSS) or collection of web pages delivered over HTTP which use either server-side or client-side processing (e.g. javascript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a web-browser. Web applications are distinct from simple web content (the focus of BP1) in that they include some elements of interactivity and persistent state. and section 1.4.2 has the statement: [...] the focus of this document is to address those aspects of web-application development for which there are additional, non-trivial concerns associated with the mobile context. I think something that makes clear what is meant by a "Web Application" and what is special about them in a mobile context is important for this BP document what was there may indeed have been "too wordy" and I think *something* addressing these issues needs to be in the BP document am I missing something in my insufficient-coffee state? just my [ever-shrinking] $0.02 worth jeffs -- “If the state is endowed with the power to enforce virtue, the men who hold that power will enforce their own concepts as virtuous.” -- Frank Meyer -- ============ Jeff Sonstein http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/jeffs.asc http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/emailDisclaimer.html
