But to be clear, I think widgets and web archives are or may be slightly different. A widget package is a distribution package, I think. A web archive is trying to say "this is what you would have experienced (or did experience) when you accessed this". This might involve capturing 'transient' information, such as URLs, and information in or derived from HTTP headers etc. I'm the editor of the media file format specs at MPEG and help at 3G etc. The base file format on which MP4 and 3G and 3G2 are based recently introduced a packaging ability, where each item can be separately stored, named, protected, compressed (or even located outside the main file defining the package). It also identifies one of the items as the primary one (the main entry point), which I know has been an issue with 'folder' formats like ZIP etc. I could say more if people are interested. -- David Singer Apple Computer/QuickTime
