where should stuff like "pagers" (pagebrowsers) and others go. I think 
this should also be part of the official widget modules - although they 
don't need JS. Or are widgets restricted to JS based ones? If so, I'd 
say it should be the other way around. Widgets provide helpers dealing 
with special HTML-Markup and extended logic. Those widgets then can be 
extended/enriched with JS support if needed/appropriate.

Although not provided by "official" framework UIs, but also available 
for every framework and quite common/useful:

* lightbox (or however you call it, although it's no standalone widget)
* Diashow
* image magnifier
* Overlays (fading the background and displaying some content on top 
like in lightboxes, but more general)
* flash embedding / video embedding (something unobtrusive like in 
flowplayer e.g.)
