                        <p>This document surveys a group of market-leading widget user agents with the aim to
inform the requirements of the <cite>Widgets 1.0: Requirements</cite> document. The
survey exposes commonalities and fragmentation across widget user agents, and discusses
how fragmentation currently affects, amongst other things, authoring, security,
distribution and deployment, internationalisation and the device-independence of widgets.
The document concludes by making a set of recommendations on what aspects of widgets
require standardization to reduce fragmentation to ultimately standardize a
cross-platform widget solution.</p>
