I don't know enough of Woody (yet?) to know the consequences of each
variation, but maybe you do when I explain what I would like. First of all
I'd like the layout specification to be as simple as the "list-orientation"
attribute of the radio buttons.

I don't know how much the underlying code in repeaters is relying on the
fact that all items in one row belong together. I.e. if you currently define
a repeater and then write an XSL that presents the repeater widgets in
columns, would it break if you add a "row"?

In any case you need to rename the "row-action" widget to something else to
avoid confusion when a repeater supports a column layout. 

Bye, Helma
