More on to this thread, and as a heads up for everyone.

We can't make Oxide the only supported runtime just now. The 13.10 
framework can't easily support Oxide, which was only introduced in 14.04.

So instead we'll keep that support for a few more weeks.

However, I now have the names of the webapps that need an upgrade. See 
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7595794/

Please consider using the new webview policy group in 14.04.

Thank you

David
