Sorry to respond late to the discussion.  I have been a little tied up recently.

I think having a default height makes a lot of sense for the Widget model 
object; however, if we keep with the current PageLayout construct, the regions 
are responsible for controlling the widget's default width.  That's not to say 
that the widget can't have a preferred or default width, but that the region 
may override it during rendering.
