W3A, the WWW Applets API that I proposed a little over a week ago, has
been expanded somewhat. There are now examples of actual applets and
there is a document with questions and open issues. If you're
interested in writing or enhancing WWW clients, you should definitely
take a look.

I have tried to answer the questions that have been sent to me, but I
can't answer all of them. I hope somebody else can.

Please take a look at <http://www.let.rug.nl/~bert/W3A/W3A.html>. You
can also pick up Postscript versions of the specification from the
directory <http://www.let.rug.nl/~bert/W3A>. The questions (and
answers) are in <http://www.let.rug.nl/~bert/W3A/Q-and-A.html>.

If you know of other proposals for adding applets, accessories, modules,
whatever to WWW browsers, please let me know. I've heard from several
people that others are thinking about it, but so far I haven't seen
any concrete specifications.

Bert

PS. I'm also looking for a more catchy name than `W3A', how about
`CCI'?
