yes; it's easy enough to split out the widget API onto a separate page which 
both sets of documentation can point to.

ok; going forward i don't think these belong in "runtime" .. i think you and i 
have slightly different opinions on this, but to me these are "libraries for 
QML" and while they are technically run-time dependencies (in that nothing 
links, in the C/C++ sense, to them) they are the equivalent of libraries for 
QML. i really think all of these QML bits belong in a Frameworks module of 
their own that can be used independently.

ok ... i will get working on this...
