My point was merely to say that "every published app running on its own custom web platform" is a different kind of implementation than a web browser, that's all :-) I think it's *really great* that Cordova provides a flexible platform for web APIs to land, and that plugins can be deployed rapidly. I'd *gladly* welcome an implementation of the FileSystem proposal in Cordova, or at least more feedback on the proposal as it stands currently. -- A*
