Edition 1 - Published September 25, 2012

1.1 Substantive Errata

The following are changes that could potentially affect conformance.

In section 9.1.9 Rule for Getting Text Content with Normalized White Space, the rule changed from:

In result, convert any sequence of one or more Unicode white space into a single U+0020 SPACE.

To:

In result , convert any sequence of one or more white space characters into a single U+0020 SPACE.

In effect, all whitespace is normalized to U+0020 SPACE.

In section 9.1.12 Rule for Deriving the user agent locales, step 2.C, it said:

If this range contains any subtag ' * ', remove the ' * ' and its preceding hyphen ( U+002F) (e.g., ' en-*-us ' becomes ' en-us ').

The unicode code for preceding hyphen was should actually have been U+002D.

1.2. Editorial Errata

The following are corrections that do not changes to text content.

In the spec, we made minor corrections to letter casing in various places. A few hyperlinks added to make the document a bit easier to use. Removed the dates from the bibliography as they just fall out of date.

1.3. Clarifications

The following are corrections that do not affect conformance.

Changed the title of the document from:

Widget packaging and XML Configuration

To:

Packaged Web Apps (Widgets) - Packaging and XML Configuration

Clarified a bit more the section 9.1.4 Rule for determining directionality Determining Directionality. It was a bit terse.

Clarified section 9.1.8 Rule for Getting Text Content. It was a bit confusing.

Clarified processing of a feature element in section 9.1.2 Algorithm to Process a Configuration Document.
