My option isn't in the list, so I will state it plainly. My position is that we use: navigator.<module>.<method> as 1) .device. offers no real namespace and it is extra characters to type 2) it fit in navigator.geolocation.* Widgets or other things that do not have a navigator object can root these APIs under a different object (e.g. widget.<module>.method, or even <module>.method) By the way, the bike shed must be red.

The normal Survivor process is synchronous and therefore won't work well here. The variant is this: please vote with the list of options above ordered from the one you *hate most* (and therefore want to see voted off the island) to the one you hate least. The winner will be selected using a commonsensical ordering and tequila. Voting closes when I get to work Monday morning; since this is a vote (albeit informal) we don't need to know what the reasoning behind your preference is (though you may include it, if it's entertaining enough). >>> >>> My vote: api, ext, device, service. >>> >>> -- >>> Robin Berjon >>> robineko — hired gun, higher standards >>> http://robineko.com/ >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >> >> > >
