Hello Webapps WG,
(This is a personal comment and is not necessarily indicative of the I18N WG's opinion)
In Section 5 (The Widget Interface), the interface provides for retrieving values such as 'name', 'shortName', etc. In Widgets P&C, these can be localized in the configuration document (I assume that the configuration document in this document means the same document as P&C??). There is no mention of whether or how this value is localized or if the locale/language is subject to programmatic control (I assume not, since it is not mentioned).
Could there be an explicit mention of the language/locale and how it interacts with user-agent? Can/should there be an accessor for language? How about a way of querying the value by locale?
Regards,
Addison

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
