Dojo [1], a popular AJAX library, uses something even more XHTML
unfriendly for its widget inclusion:

<div id="..." dojoType="<DojoWidgetName>" widgetId="<ID>"
[<Attribute>="<Value>"]>
</div>

One that looks like this: <wbx:keywords xmlns:wbx="urn:wbx" value="tech" />

Here's how a "user" might create a "smart blog" post:

http://beta.widgetbox.com/docs/smartblogs/

Essentially, from what I can tell, they use JS to go in and replace
the <wbx /> instances with iframes that pull content from the
WidgetBox site (according to this:
http://forums.widgetbox.com/viewtopic.php?id=13).

While they support rel-tag, they seem to have dispensed with the
microformats concept after that.

Any thoughts on this? I contacted them to get their side -- seems a
pity that they wouldn't try working on the hWidget spec if they're
aware of it, given what they say on their homepage: "This is a work in
progress. We certainly need more documentation, more widgets, and more
assistance putting widgets on blogs. Please let us know what we need
most."
