This is described by the technical +recommendations [Packaged Web Apps (Widgets)](http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets) and [XML Digital Signatures for Widgets](http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-digsig) of the W3 consortium. + +As today this model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications +but it could be extended to any other class of applications. + +The management of widget package signatures. +Current model is only an initial step, it might be extended in the +future to include new feature (ie: incremental delivery).
