The dereferencing model relies on HTTP semantics to return resources in a manner akin to a HTTP GET request.

Well, this is progress, but it seems the only difference now between widget: and http: is the authority. And if that's the case, then instead of (from your example); widget://c13c6f30-ce25-11e0-9572-0800200c9a66/index.html why not go with this? http://c13c6f30-ce25-11e0-9572-0800200c9a66.localhost/index.html Mark.
