Your pardoned, but your more than welcome to jump in :D
I don't think one solution, in such an open ended situation, is
possible.

I may want to output a calendar that only uses xhtml, no Javascript at
all, if there was only one widget that output a bulky Javascript
implementation what am I meant to offer the users that are using text
browsers? A text box is useless if you are trying to show dates that
are available or unavailable for selection! Another use: a calendar
application may use an xhtml calendar that takes up the best part of
the screen and could be populated by Javascript + JSON / AJAX.

Oh Kay perhaps I am pushing the purpose of form widgets there, but do
you get what I mean. This one widget that itself doesn't work for a
part of my audience and doesn't even fall back to anything useful!
