[widget engine] svg defs as a part of widget templates

[dylan]

With svg widgets, it is often desirable to include things like gradients in a <defs> element. This doesn't really work with the existing widget system, so we need to decide if/how we want to handle things that might be appropriately included in defs.

I think the big question here is whether or not an SVG widget is a full SVG "document"; from the work I've done with FF it would seem that this needs to be the case.

However, we need to address the use of SVG templates within the system as well--I know you got this working but there's been some work done by Bill that may or may not affect it?

Not sure how anonymous got this back but re-assigning to myself and punting to 0.4.

The original intention of the ticket was to pursue/investigate whether or not it would be worth it to implement an SVG widget template system based on SVG's ability to define "sprite" using the defs element. Given that VML works in a completely different way--and that we've since gone the way of gfx--I'm punting until v. 0.7 or so.

Going to close this; I don't think Dijit will be implementing anything like this, and using DojoX GFX is a programmatic thing only.
