 Widgets look the same versus having to really manipulate the output to get
 the look you wanted?

 I dunno. I like the idea of being able to override the silly lack of div
 tag around a widget's content.

 However, I'm worried that your suggested code would break my themes, and
 each and every one of the widget plugins I maintain. It doesn't look like
 it will, but I'm dreading another round of WP 2.8-like maintenance.

 It would also mean that some widgets will behave/style differently from
 others. And that can get *very* messy. I'm foreseeing plenty of support
 requests along the lines of "why is this widget not getting styled"?
