[Web-SIG] JavaScript libraries

[Ian Bicking]

On the topic of Javascript, I just thought I'd note the existance of 
WHAT-WG (http://whatwg.org/) the Web Application Spec 
(http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/), and the Web Form spec 
(http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/), which both deal with 
Javascript.  The Web App spec is meant to be implemented in Javascript 
for backward compatibility (with native browser support coming later), 
but also specifies a lot of Javascript methods that should be available 
for rich interfaces.  So in a lot of ways it's similar to what we've 
been talking about.  Well, I'm a little unclear about the specifics -- 
the demos use server-side scripts for legacy support, which isn't very 
feasible IMHO, those server-side components are written as filters and 
thus are web-programming-environment neutral.  But I don't think that's 
what they intend ultimately...?

Hmm... too bad they don't have a web-forms-implementors mailing list or 
something.
