I have always in the back of my mind: * How does it give control (benefits) to - users? - web developers? - UX/Designers? - marketers/analytics crunchers/BD? Maybe there is a bit more user research (or maybe Marcos knows this already) to do in what users want to do? I guess we all have our own ideas about it. Mine would be more give me a possibility to choose in the chrome what type of assets/performances I desire. I am on high performance bandwidth/latency network, but I want low-res, because I just want speed (the same way I would access a mobile domain m. for quick access on desktop). Or give me the high-res pictures on my slow network because I really need this high quality images I want to share with someone else and/or print. I see a lot of benefits in user control. I see a lot of privacy issues at the other end of the spectrum. Privacy issues are not (often) a use case for service providers in the current business model. And we really never know what those will be before someone had an idea to "pervert" the usage of the API. -- Karl Dubost, Mozilla http://www.la-grange.net/karl/moz _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
