Thanks for getting back to me. It's funny you say widgets have fallen out of favour... I have heard that improvements in modern browsers may be making them redundant as they can manipulate the DOM much faster than older ones (which removes the benefit of setting innerHTML as one giant string), but I also heard they might be the only thing that remains if GWT does drop widgets entirely. I guess we have to wait for 2.8 and a roadmap update.
I did also find this post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/google-web-toolkit/cell$20uirenderer/google-web-toolkit/pG13y1zHppo/Zd9g8cu5e0MJ> which mentions that you can use multiple ui.xml files with any UiBinder so I may give that a shot.
