COMMENT 4) Ad "Please let us know if there any good use cases for
encryption":
A widget is a piece of information, just like an e-mail, and you might
want to protect it from spies. That said, I think it is not a
requirement of the widget format itself to provide such protection.
Generic methods, such as e-mail encryption or SSL are probably
adequate.
Agreed. Widget encryption has been removed as a requirement. Authors
are free to encrypt packages using whatever means they have at their
disposal, but they will need to be decrypted before they can be run on
a widget engine. We make no requirement on widget engines to support
encryption (even if the packaging format supports it).
