I'm concerned about broadening the scope of the Widgets v1.0 specs  
beyond the UCs and requirements we have already documented in Widgets  
1.0: Requirements LCWD.

As I said in the Workshop, I'm not interested in rat-holing on "What  
is Web Application?" and I certainly don't want such discussions to  
delay the Widgets v1.0 specs.

So sure, if you want to add a bunch of new reqs to the Widgets  
Requirements v2.0 spec, that's OK with me.
