It is actually ready, but needs a JSON-RPC API as well. |

The reason it is in the draft mode currently is because there is no decision on webxdc/website#61 |

This is an alternative to #4532.
The idea is to add a new JavaScript API
window.webxdc.replaceWebxdcallowing the WebXDC app to replace itself. This will allow the apps to upgrade themselves by requesting a base64-encoded blob from a bot.This will also allow the apps to modify themselves by repackaging all the files with necessary modifications (e.g. updated configuration). E.g. a TiddlyWiki port may replace itself in-place instead of saving a new copy of self to chat each time.
