NFC API draft / implementations (was Re: common NFC API draft / base for discussion)

Hi all,

Here's some sort of a matrix of possible out-of-browser implementations, 
that we could use to check what is doable on what platforms. At least 
that's my understanding.


Back-end\Front-end| cloudeebus/websockets |  node.js   |  phonegap  |
------------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
   neard / DBus    | 1) OK                 | 2) OK      | 3)         |
------------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
    Android        | 4)                    | 5) OK ?    | 6) OK      |
------------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
  Windows phone 8  | 7)                    | 8)         | 9) OK ?    |
------------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
     Blackberry    | 10)                   | 11)        | 12) OK ?   |
------------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+

- I'll do 1) and 2) should come for free using cloudeebus + node-dbus.
- 6) should be possible to branch from Don's phonegap-nfc, and I suppose 
9) and 12) also but I'm not sure how hard that is
- Repackaging Don's phonegap-nfc in node-js should work for 5), not sure 
about 8) and 11). Talking to Hans Myrhaug might help for 5) too
- neard and cloudeebus rely on DBus, so 4), 7), 10) and 3) are probably 
out of the picture

I can for sure work on 1) and 2), probably work with Don on 6) What do 
you guys think ?

B.R.
