A few comments on http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/Overview.src.html 1. [Abstract] "the Widgets 1.0 Family of Specifications" link to section explaining what the Family is. 2. [Conformance] "This specification describes the conformance criteria for user agents [...] and various resource types". What are the various resource types? Isn't the statement contradictory with "There is only one class of product that can claim conformance to this specification: a user agent." ? 3. [User Agents] "A user agent is an implementation" a bit vague. Perhaps some of the text in the following note should be move here, to refine the definition. 4. [User Agents] "widget user agent" link to where the term is defined. 5. [Dependencies on Other Specifications] The last 2 statements logically yield "A user agent MUST attempt to implement [some specifications]" 6. [Dependencies on Other Specifications] "depend", "rely", "supports", "attempts to implement"... all a bit confusing. 7. [Global Definitions] provide link to definition of Widget object, and start file. 8. [Global Definitions] Widget object -> Widget interface ? (object is Ecmascript centric) 9. [The Widget Interface] "The widget interface" -> The Widget interface 10. [The Widget Interface] MUST should be in red. 11. [The Widget Interface] There should be a link to WebIDL somewhere, for people not familiar with it 12. [The Widget Interface] Why is it dom::DOMString and not DOMString? 13. [The viewMode Attribute] "Steps for Processing a Widget Resource" direct link would be useful (also further down) 14. [The authorName Attribute] This is a comment on P&C: <author> is used to deduce the "author name" property, but in the definition of <author> it's not specified that the element must contain the author's name. 14. [The authorURL Attribute] Shoudl logically be called authorHref 15. [The openURL() Method] Why couldn't this be generalised to open URI, including mailto:, tel: and more? 16. [The getAttention() Method] Make the last statement explicitely non-normatice (as a note for instance) 17. [The ShowNotification() Method] "reference to a function" is confusing (also in onmodechange). I would change to just function 18. [Informative References] The references are in a section (the intro) that is not marked as informative in the conformance section. Max.
