SVG should not get 'widgety' at all. I think Kurt implies this with his
assertions about the fundamental difference between SVG and things like
XUL. SVG defines primitives. Widgets are made out of a combination of
primitives. For SVG to encompass widgets would be against the spirit of
SVG itself, which is a schema representing the fundamental drawing
primitives needed to create scalable vector graphics. I don't see the
word widget in Scalable Vector Graphics. SVG is better off as it is - a
standard that can be embedded in higher-level XML technologies like XUL,
XAML, Vexi, Luxor, Thinlets, etc.

Hello,
Kurt Cagle (author of the Graphical Web) has written
an article titled "How 'Widgety' should SVG Get?" that
explores how SVG, XBL and XUL relate and differ.
