Title: Message
Here's
another round based on the latest comments, with a clearer distinction between
what we commit to do versus what we wish to do long term (based on
Ravi's observation). I also don't think we need to spell out the different
things that are supported, but I do see an slight conceptual distinction between
action routing and customization (see below).
This specification must
support common Presentation formats, which are in use today in Net-enabled
applications. In particular:
1. It MUST
support Presentation Fragments in
HTML, XHTML, XML and WML.
2. It MUST support Presentation Fragments
and Actions created by ECMAScript
scripts.
[ER]: Presentation
Fragments are document.write() and DOM function calls. Actions
are navigation (non-presentation) function calls (such as
location.replace).
3. It MUST support embedded elements
(e.g., Images, Flash, Applets, etc.)
(and Actions created by such
elements?).
[ER]: Presentation
Fragments are things displayed to the user, actions are navigation commands. I
do think that not allowing supporting actions in such formats is
limiting.
4. Functionality offered elsewhere in this
specification (e.g., action routing, customization) SHOULD NOT be restricted
based on a particular presentation format. However, this specification MAY only
provide constructive guidelines for a restricted set of presentation
formats.
