[Css.weblogsinc.com] Dashboard widgets are CSS-compatible! - The CSS Weblog - css ...: It means you can use regular HTML/XHTML, CSS (even though Safari is almost as bad at CSS as MSIE 5.2 for Mac), Javascript and more to make your Dashboard widgets.

Editing must be able to serialize namespaces, and ideally even preserve the namespace prefixes that were used at various points in the document as well as the use of default namespaces as set up by the author.
[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): widgets announcement, Apple's mistake is even clearer: If they had grabbed Konfabulator when they had the chance, then they wouldn't have had to deal with Konfabulator's small group of loyal followers when they first released Dashboard. As an added bonus, today Apple wouldn't be facing a cross-platform Yahoo!-sponsored free version of one of Tiger's most highly talked-up features.
[Macworld.com] Macworld: Editors' Notes: Tiger evaluated: Dashboard: Dashboard’s an excellent addition to the Mac OS, and its presence in every shipping copy of Tiger will draw countless clever developers who will continue to extend Dashboard’s usefulness over the next few years. But for it to be a true success, Apple needs to give users more flexibility over where Widgets live and more control over installing, removing, and organizing them.
