Sneak peek: Dashboard enhancements in OS 10.4.2

http://www.tuaw.com [The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] Since Dashboard's introduction, a number of third party widget managers have sprung up. According to Apple Insider, "...the 'More Widgets' button [currently] located to the far right of the Dashboard dock has been renamed 'Manage Widgets.' Instead of scrolling the dock to reveal the next dozen or so widgets installed on the user's system, the function launches a completely new widget manager that itself resembles a widget."

Well I don't need to be wasting cpu for a Hula girl widget just for fun (even when its not visable), so Off to the library and into the trash it went.

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.
