Re: [widgets] Widgets URI scheme... it's baaaack!

Ouch. :)

I'll start by disputing this requirement:

Some specification must provide that origin URI.  But can somebody  
give a use case for this being a requirement on the widget URI scheme  
spec?

(Specifically, why do origin and base URI need to match within  
widgets?  Section 4.4 seems to indicate that URIs with scheme widget  
don't ever leave the specific widget instance. So, why?)
