<br>
Thanks for your e-mail.<br>
<br>
Regarding your group following WebApps' widget-related specs, I think the easiest way is to subscribe to our Public mail list (public-<a href="mailto:webapps@w3.org" target="_blank">webapps@w3.org</a>) (see [1]). Please note our latest publication status is provided at [2].<br>
<br>
During our January 7 weekly widget voice conference, we briefly discussed [3] your e-mail. One area mentioned that could benefit from an open standard is ZIP (e.g. "ISO ZIP").<br>
<br>
-Regards, Art Barstow<br>

Dear the W3C Web Applications WG,<br>
<br>
I am writing on behalf of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34/WG4, which is responsible<br>
for the maintenance of ISO/IEC 29500 (OOXML).<br>
<br>
WG4 reviewed the working draft "Widgets 1.0: Packaging and<br>
Configuration" with interest. It provides a package format similar to<br>
the OPC(Open Packaging Conventions), which is specified in ISO/IEC<br>
29500-2. The text of the OPC specification is available as<br>
ECMA 376 Part 2 (Second Edition)<br>
<<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/" target="_blank">http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/</a>Ecma-376.htm><br>
and from the public ISO Website<br>
<<a href="http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html" target="_blank">http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html</a>>.<br>
<br>
WG4 believes that widget packages and OPC packages are meant to meet<br>
different requirements, and thus they cannot be unified in a hurry<br>
without causing significant damage to OOXML, widgets, or both.<br>
Requirements specific to OPC include file renaming and<br>
fallback-guaranteed extensibility through ISO/IEC 29500-3 (Markup<br>
Compatibility and Extensions). Meanwhile, those specific to widget<br>
packages include start files, icon files, localization, and<br>
preferences among others.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, WG4 believes that there are quite a few similarities<br>
between widget packages and OPC packages, and that information<br>
exchange between the W3C Web Applications WG and WG4 would be very<br>
fruitful. Specifically, WG4 is interested in URI schemes, media<br>
types, and UTF-8 part names.<br>
<br>
WG4 understands that the widget package uses the latest version<br>
(6.3.2) of the ZIP specification, which allows UTF-8. Meanwhile,<br>
ISO/IEC 29500-2 uses an earlier version (6.2.0) and relies on<br>
the %HH convention, since 6.2.0 was the latest version when<br>
Ecma TC45 started the first edition of OOXML.<br>
<br>
JTC1/SC34/WG4 looks forward to your views on this matter.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Mohamed ZERGAOUI on behalf of SC34/WG4 Convenor MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)<br>
