I'm not sure about the cross-domain stuff for a web app... 1) a web app pulls from one server, but gets a module from CrossWire and converts (degrading intial user experience/performance, and requiring some cross-domain trickery) 2) Web app hosts data on it's own server, in pre-converted formats, but without "CrossWire only" modules 3) CrossWire hosts the iPhone web app
Of course a native application could do 1) without cross-domain concerns and more efficiently. - nathan On 18-Apr-08, at 6:16 AM, DM Smith wrote: > I don't think format shifting is the issue.
