Right. Web is first target, apps is second. Think of an app you install on device, and apps registering as a publisher can talk to this app to get your subscription status, and not show you ads.

The promise is with sufficient adoption by users and pubs, new pubs will have incentive to do this. Except maybe apps by large corporations.

sorry for shameless plug: http://minutesworth.launchrock.com

It's a mere launch rock page, but i am gauging interest on the project. I actually have a big portion of ready, and rest under work, but finding people to pick up the idea is tough.

Everybody say they'll pay, but it's different from actually doing.

Are most of these protected by sandboxed iframes? What kind if leak are you talking about? Referer leak? That is easy to fix, but what else?

I dont think email sender cares about how iframe is rendered. They currently render in a rectangle, and they will keep render in a rectangle.
