   Currently, the Widgets shipping with this library are rather limited
!  in scope. This is because the focus has been on getting the library
!  solid and feature-rich enough to be pleasant to use. In my own custom
!  code, I have some quite sophisticated Widgets, they just aren't
!  suitable for public consumption. Target developers are those who will
!  be creating their own Widgets for their own apps. 0.4 of XBLinJS will
!  contain a non-trivial widget or two, tested for at least Mozilla and
!  IE. (I am currently targetting a drop-down widget that can contain
!  arbitrary HTML in it, and a conversion of a Rich Text Editor into
!  Widget form, but this is subject to change without notice.)
