I got pretty <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/2007/08/iphone_developer_guidelines_pr.html">excited about the iPhone</a>,
and even more about the openness of Android and the G1, and then I
learn that the Palm Pre developer platform is basically just the open
web platform: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.</p>
<p>Just after the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2009/Talks/02wdn/slides#%2844%29">mobile buzz at Web Directions North</a> and the TAG declared victory on how to build <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html">The Self-Describing Web</a> with URI-based Extensibility , I get some <a href="http://developer.palm.com/webos_book/book7.html">details</a> on how Palm is building on the open web platform:</p>
<blockquote><p>A widget is declared within your HTML as an empty <b>div</b> with an <b>x-mojo-element</b> attribute.</p>
<pre>&lt;div <i>x-mojo-element=</i>"ToggleButton" <i>id=</i>"my-toggle"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</pre>
</blockquote>

<p>Oh great; x- tokens... aren't those passe by now?</p>
<p>The suggestion in the HTML 5 draft is <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Apr/0205.html">data-* attributes</a>. The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/">ARIA draft</a> suggests @role. The Palm design looks like new information for <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/41">issue-41, Decentralized-extensibility</a>, in the HTML WG.</p>
<p>Anybody know how frozen the Palm design is? Or if they looked at ARIA, data-* or URI-based namespaces?</p>
