Hi, Could a means be added to Web Intents to allow ALL matching registered handlers to be executed (with an event to indicate completion)? I would think one should be able to use such a means to make one's application extensible via "plug-ins" whose code could add overlays or behaviors (e.g., to allow 3rd parties to add their own context menus to one's web app), of course bearing in mind security concerns (as with single service usage), or the approach could be used for publish-subscribe, etc. For example, one might have a third party client app to request Twitter, Facebook, Google Mail, etc. (e.g., if the user had set such a preference to allow this behavior at these sites), to pass on messages which could be shown and handled in a common interface (like POP or IMAP email). The "persistent connections" approach (http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/web-intents/raw-file/tip/spec/Overview.html#persistent-connections ) could also enable development of a multi-service chatting application with discovery of new services. Thanks, Brett
