+1 for dropping widget spec in 4.0 Issue with the widget spec is it doesn't take into account multiple platforms, or possibly different runtimes. A 'cordova app' is more similar to a plugin.xml (needs to be ported to multiple platforms). Some rough work here: https://wiki.apache.org/cordova/config/cordova.xml Using the widget spec as-is looks like a lowest-hanging fruit experience on multiple platforms. You need lots of xmlns:cdv, xmlns:gap, ... stuff to bridge the gap. Short term (3.x): -1 to A,B,C - add xmlns:cdv for custom icons, ...? Long term (4.x) - New cordova config file - Provide migration path of cordova 3.x project -> 4.x
