Last Call: Widget Packaging and Configuration

The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of Widget Packaging and Configuration. Widgets are client-side applications that are authored using Web standards such as HTML5, but whose content can also be embedded into Web documents. The packaging specification relies on PKWare's Zip specification as the archive format, XML as a configuration document format, and a series of steps that runtimes follow when processing and verifying various aspects of a package. Comments are welcome through 26 October. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
