Thanks for the kind words, Pete.

And to be clear:  I completely agree with Pete on this.
That's what I was edging toward with the comments about
embedding widgets not being applicable to e.g. cluster
architectures.

One could theoretically imagine an optional package of
'121 to do widget embedding and other aspects of closer
sharing/communication, but IMHO a much better approach
would be a totally seperate JSR.  The timescale and the
target platforms are different enough that it would be
counter-productive to bundle this with '121.

Cheers,

Bill
