 The default widgets serve as examples for many people to make new widgets.
 We should make sure they're up to date in terms of coding standards and
 best practices. There's many places where this is not the case.

 A few examples:

 * `$instance['text'] = stripslashes( wp_filter_post_kses(
 addslashes($new_instance['text']) ) );`
 * `$text = esc_textarea($instance['text']);` rather than at output

 Also tons and tons of formatting issues.

 I'll volunteer to take this on.
