Actually, I use this. Mainly due to a lack of a better work-around (though I'm open to ideas). I needed to modify the container markup slightly, to implement the "show/hide" links for the Widgets. Rather than simply forking the core Widgets as *new* Widgets, I deregister the core Widgets, and then re-register my modified versions. <div>

<br>
I didn't find documentation on whether it is allowed for Theme authors to unregister default widgets.<br>
Is it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
