As I say, I'm not particularly opposed to a web-based
widget system, provided it is simple enough to use
and it works in a cross-platform manner. But, I don't
know much about them. Do you have pointers to something
you think is worth reading? Why do you prefer this
solution? I'm leery mostly because I think HTML5 is
too close to the cutting edge of where things are going
in five years time. It will be hard to know whom to blame
when things inevitably go wrong. ;-)

Does having a web-based system mean that we have to
have a web server running on our machines if we are
away from Internet access? Will you choose our HTML5
browser for us? How do you plan to finesse the
inevitable browser war and feature creep?

Cheers,

David
