Absolutely not. Please read the spec: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/spec.html
An implementation of opensocial that happened to depend on views might be OK in some cases (say, for implementing requestShareApp), but that fact should be well hidden from the gadget developers. There are too many transitive dependencies as is. It makes upgrading libraries independently of one another a godawful nightmare, and evolving the spec impossible.
