I think it is a big task. On the other hand, in thinking about it, I think
the actual logic behind widgets could be fairly simple. The hard part is
getting people to write the various widget objects. Again, I think all the
various HTML widgets could use an underlying library like HTML::StickyWidgets.
And then the remaining hard part is writing the template language wrappers
that actually allow them to be embedded in pages as tags where it is XSP
tags for AxKit or plugins for TemplateToolkit.

For those that do not know struts is a Java framework and I think someone
is trying to get me riled up!
I want/need a *Perl* solution!
