I suppose, technically yes. That is more complex than what I really had
in mind...but if gets me widget interfaces, I suppose I'm interested.

In general I'm skeptical about "vendor agnostic" widget APIs, because
given how nit-picky perfect UIs have to be, it doesn't seem realistic to
be able to switch implementations and still have things look right
(other than some trivial theming).

No problem. Sounds interesting!

Also, I'm really glad to hear you'll be keeping us non-Googlers in the
loop. Perhaps it is naive, but with the re-open sourcing of GWT, I'd
love to see more of Google's internal conversations about GWT happen in
a public forum, like gwt-contrib.

Totally understood that you can't discuss internal business details on a
public forum, but it seems like a lot of open source projects have
technical, cross-company discussions on their open mailing lists.
