Comment (by Stagger Lee):

 I have to admit, I am following this trac and dont understand all of this.
 Why not just make in the core one new widget with title & (one) input
 field, where you type Page/Post ID number, and all content is displayed in
 widget !!??

 Can be custom post type for widgets, can be Page, or Post despite there is
 less logic to make it with Posts.

 - You automatically get all media/TinyMce magic existing for Pages/Posts.
 - You save yourself much time for coding (much more is to come).
 - Additional one new Post status to lock Page and prevent Google indexing
 would be nice too.
 - As it is now, it is dynamic content and need changing many times, Users
 would be able to enter widgets control panel. One slip with notebook mouse
 pad, some widget change position, is removed, etc...

 Sorry, dont want to be disrespectful. You obviously gave much of your time
 and energy into it. Just seems as overdoing.
