A streamable container, while intriguing, also has issues.  For streaming  
to be of use, you need to specify the order of resources: the widget's  
configuration file and start file should be the first two files in the  
resource bundle. Are there readily available (on all major platforms)  
tools that do this, easily?

(Other than that, see timeless' comments about this really being too late  
for the current spec)
