Hi, I am reading the Web Intents spec and got a question about action matching. As is pointed out in 3.4 "*The algorithm for matching intents is that the action string provided in invocation and registration must match exactly*", and in 3.1 "*Chosen strings should be namespaced by a URL namespace convention*", here is my problem: taking "EDIT" for example, I saw in the demo the action string for registration is "http://webintents.org/edit". So when an app invoke a EDIT intents, the so called "exact match" may restrict the possible apps for the user. For example, in Android, EDIT intent is “android.intent.action.EDIT”, in that case, exact match may prevent the user get local apps on the suggestion list. But actually, both web apps and Android apps may provide semantically same service. So I would ask if it is possible using semantical action matching instead. Thanks Cheng
