Re: [vwrap] Moving startup documents into the working group

Perhaps someone could explain using a different form of words how client
launching forms a natural part of a VW interop protocol?

I don't doubt at all that it's useful to launch a client application from a
web page, but I gave the document a "No" simply because I don't see how it's
in scope for us.

Should the SMTP standard include a document on how to launch a mail client?
Should the XMPP standard include a document on how to launch a Jabber
client?  Should the SNMP standard include a document on how to launch
snmpwalk?

I don't think it's actually *harmful*  to have an auxiliary document only
marginally related to VWs within our document set, so I could probably be
persuaded for the sake of unanimity.  But it does seem an oddball
specification within our protocol context.

Perhaps the best defense for it is that it promotes the cause of VW interop
by creating a Web standard in the area.  In that sense it's a useful
document despite client launching having little direct relevance to our
VWRAP client-server protocol.

Barry, I won't argue further against adding this document to our set so go
right ahead on that, given the general support.  Usefulness probably trumps
relevance and consistency in this case anyway. :-)
