SysApps moving app: URI to first public working draft

TL;DR this is a way to solve the "how to reference in-app package contents
in a platform-agnostic fashion"

Relevant to us because it would solve a mammoth / ancient issue that's
been around for us [1].

The full proposal is here [2].


FirefoxOS already uses this. Chrome apps use a version of this (a la
chrome-extension://). Opera used essentially this proposal for their
widgets using the widget:// URI.

I suggest that we tackle this post-3.0? Thoughts?

I really like this spec but suspect we want to hold off until post 3.x
to be safe.
