I would also add e-commerce examples and payment authentication
systems (paypal, google checkout, 3rd party payment). I know what you
are thinking, greedy capitalist...just look at the riots. Given the
current economic environment I think this would be a relevant focus.
Personally, those in my circle of influence (a small one at best)
believe Web 3.0 = monetizing the web. A framework that makes it easy
to leverage these 3rd party api's and has examples readily available
(or published for purchase) would get greater mindshare. Besides,
another blog example is, well, another blog example :-(
