There is a GSoC project to implement it in Apache Wookie, which already has 
student interest, so I'm sure we'll have an open source implementation by the 
end of Summer :)

On the commercial side, its been implemented by Opera, Nokia, Vodafone, 
Samsung, Obigo, RIM and a bunch of web TV platforms as its part of a lot of 
other spec stacks in the mobile and TV space such as WAC, MPEG-U, HbbTV, CMX 
(etc).

There have been some packaging and signing tools supporting the specs issued as 
part of SDKs, e.g. the Vodafone widget packager and the WAC SDK (I think 
Samsung/Limo wrote that one).  I think the Blackberry webapps signing tools 
also uses widgets-digsig as Blackberry Widgets are W3C Widgets - I seem to 
remember RIM open-sourcing most of their Widgets code last year so that may be 
another lead.
