I'm very interested in seeing something like this.  Clay has been  
looking at Dojo, and while it's very powerful, it seems overly  
complex; at the same time, it doesn't produce valid standard XHTML.   
So we're thinking that UI widgets should be done Prototype/ 
Scriptaculous.  In particular I crave a date/calendar popup.  Is that  
the kind of thing you're talking about?
