Blueprint changed by Christopher Adams:

Whiteboard changed:
  WE need to support the old one too. I would recommend that we check the
  version number and use the new one past a certain time and the old one
  for older widgets, unless you can insure that the new one will work for
  old widgets, which could be very difficult.
  
  I also think widgets are way too complicated, but, we should talk about
  all this more...
  
  Agree, this code is super convoluted!
+ 
+ Speaking as an Open Font Library developer and maintainer, I don't care
+ about a new parser maintaining backwards compatibility. I would be
+ satisfied with a clear upgrade guide and would be willing to change all
+ my widgets by hand, in exchange for a new parser that is vastly better,
+ easier to use and maintain. When Aiki Framework hits 1.0 (and if it
+ seriously deserves to be called 1.0), I don't think it's asking too much
+ to have to "port" older sites to the 1.0 scheme, whatever that may be.
