I have updated the Wigets P&C spec for publication as a LC.
This new draft specifies the defaultlocale attribute
Is support for this proposed attribute going to be added to the Widget

spec.)
No, defaultlocale has no relationship to the API side (assuming that
is what you mean).
I was trying to determine if you had identified a Use Case for exposing
this piece of metadata via the Widget object in the TWI spec (and I see
you think "no").
Anyhow, coming back to the proposal - as I understand it, it would plug
an interop hole in the CR where if the UA has no locale set, it is left
to the UA (i.e. non-deterministic) as to what - if any - localized data
the UA will use. The proposal does indeed make that behavior
deterministic but since old UAs would ignore this new attribute, the
proposal would break UAs based on the CR. Is this correct?
