Richard, Addison, Felix, All,
Based on my conversations with Marcos and reading this thread, it is
my understanding that you support:
a) the new <span> element and dir attribute model Marcos added to the
Widget P&C spec [P&C-ED] and consequently,
b) the removal of the ITS references that were in the December CR
[P&C-CR].
Would you please confirm this or if my understanding is not correct,
please elaborate on any remaining issues?
Also, if you have any feedback on the 60 related test cases Marcos
created, please reply to the thread he used to announce those test
cases:

It addresses the comment:
[[ 7.16. The span Element http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/
#the-span-element-and-its-attributes
[2] I think the example could be improved by having something
inside the span with punctuation (eg. exclamation mark) or such,
and maybe the description should be in English - otherwise you'd
probably want to put the dir on the widget tag and have English in
the span. Should I try to find another example ?

Here's my proposed example (thanks to Aharon Lanin for helping
with the Hebrew). I made up something that might appear in a
Hebrew widget, rather than an English one, since it's a little
more realistic.
<widget
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets";
xml:lang="he" dir="rtl">
<name xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</name>
<description
יישומון ה-<span dir="rtl" xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</
span> מאפשר לך לבדוק את מזג האוויר בכל
נקודת GPS ברחבי העולם.

</widget>
Here's a version ready to drop into HTML (I suggest you copy it as
a unit, to avoid problems with the bidirectional text.)
<widget
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xml:lang="he" dir="rtl">
<name xml:lang="en">GPS Weather!</name>

יישומון ה-<span dir="rtl"
