Paper to W3C, 2004
We consider Web Applications to be an
important area that has not been adequately
served by existing technologies… There is a
rising threat of single-vendor solutions
addressing this problem before jointly-
developed specifications.

●
1. Backwards compatibility, and a clear migration path.
●
2. Well-defined error handling.
●
3. Users should not be exposed to authoring errors.
●
4. Practical use: every feature that goes into the Web-
applications specifications must be justified by a
practical use case. The reverse is not necessarily true.
●
5. Scripting is here to stay (but should be avoided where
more convenient declarative mark-up can be used).
●
6. Avoid device-specific profiling.
●
7. Make the process open.
