Re: [widgets] Does anyone still care about Widget Updates?

Scott indicated [1] Wookie implemented Widget Updates and Chaals 
indicated [2] he would followup with Opera but I couldn't find a 
response from them in the list archive.

Do we have two (complete?) implementations of the spec? Opera, Richard?

It's not clear to me if we should drop this spec (i.e. publish as a WG 
Note) or if there are sufficient resource commitments to continue to 
advance it along the REC track.

Marcos - what is the status of the test suite 
<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-updates/test-suite/>? (The 
Implementation Report doesn't look good 
<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-updates/imp-report/>.)
