Re: Gave a try to the Component Model

Hi Julien,

Thanks a lot for your interest and feedback! If I understand your example
correctly, it is very similar to the time-zone selection example Hixie gave
on this mailing list. As it so happens, I just added that as a use case for
components at http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Component_Model_Use_Cases.

Regarding sharing of data in your examples: I'm not sure it can work exactly
as you described, because of confinement considerations (a component should
not be able to access 'window', nor 'document', nor the DOM, without the
embedding document's consent), but we are in the middle of writing a
proposal that should address most of that (confinement, declarative syntax,
data sharing, to be precise), which should be forthcoming soon.


Cheers,

- Roland
