While this is not yet defined by the W3C or other organizations, pre-existing implementations do indeed have different privileges: 1. Commonly, widget runtimes may ignore the same-origin policy that browsers have used 2. Some legacy implementations essentially have shell access, and bundle a set of Gnu (or gnu-like) tools 3. Filesystem access 4. Extended device API work is ongoing, such as OMTP's initiative -- Arve Bersvendsen Developer, Opera Software ASA, http://www.opera.com/
