Re: CfC: publish FPWD of "app: URI scheme"; deadline April 26th

I am glad to see that you guys reach an agreement :)

Dave, I think we are good to publish the FPWD for the APP URI scheme
specification. The following document should have been updated:
http://app-uri.sysapps.org/pub/WD_09May2013.html

Thanks,

My latest proposal is that the text be marked as non-normative (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sysapps/2013Apr/0230.html). I don't believe Marcos is in agreement. So I'll propose the following change:
