It includes all the Javascript and XML components needed to run full-fidelity Ajax applications.

Digital Media - The Framework includes proprietary audio, video and voice CODECs and instant messaging protocol stacks. It also provides persistent and shareable XML-based application packages, automatic online updates, media streaming and downloading, UPnP, Zeroconf / mDNS, learning IR remote control and photo editing and sharing.
