Coming back to this point...

I think supporting an existing webapps framework (hopefully a standard at
some point) with it's system API, manifest, permissions etc, is important
also if the goal is just to get some Sugar activities running on other
platforms.

For example, even *if* Android doesn't support installing web applications
right now, it most likely will in the future.

Without web applications, you would need to use some kind of native wrapper
implementing the Sugar javascript API.
