I agree this is important and I'm wondering about the best way to move this work forward. Are you talking about this IG providing help with the technical editing of the spec or more about providing UCs and requirements? I am also interested in where you think the current spec is not `good enough` and if the issues are technical, is this the right forum for such discussions. > 2. Bookmarking - we need to make sure that the bits are in place so users can "install" web sites. I see some benefits of standardization in this area. How do you envision this IG helping here vis-a-vis what SysApps is doing and you Manifest spec? > 3. Permissions - without a permissioning model for the Web, we can't enable new device capabilities. (Given quite a bit of related work over the years (widget's <access>, DAP, etc.) , I'm a bit skeptical here. OTOH, if people think they can provide some new value/inputs here, perhaps that could be a worthwhile effort.) > Pushing for the things above would go a long way in helping other WGs succeed - and keeping the platform competitive. Yes, it feels like the Web and TV IG's work mode of providing UCs and requirements for WGs is indeed a good model to follow. -AB
