I don't think that having http://website/tg_widgets/widget/css/js/whatever is 
showing public API of a web application.  It is a mere URI / URL for some 
resource.  That's the same as having a /feeds for RSS feeds or a /edit for 
some editing form, for example.

I agree that it should be easy to change.  This would make things a bit more 
complicated inside TG, but wouldn't be impossible to do.  Even though you can 
do that already with some rewriting of URLs on your webserver. 

Personally I don't see a problem with that and in fact I never looked at it 
because it isn't all that intrusive and since I'm already stating that I used 
TurboGears somewhere this is just a detail.

But, if we could code something that would remove this it would be OK with me.

Have you taken a look at the code, Daniel, to see if you have any suggestion 
on how to make this implementation?
