Content multi-view

Current <content> model does not allow multiple views

HISTORICAL: Widgets [Bugs and Issues are tracked via Bugzilla https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/describecomponents.cgi?product=WebAppsWG]
Raised by:

Description:
The problem with the way that <content> is currently specified is that it does not allow for multiple "views" of content. For example, say I want to display a floating widget and a different view of that widget in a dock.

Google gadgets currently solves this problem by allowing multiple content elements and making use of a "view" attribute:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Hello World!">
<Require feature="opensocial-0.7" />
</ModulePrefs>
<Content type="html" view="home">
<![CDATA[
Hello, small world!
]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas">
<![CDATA[
Hello, big world!
]]>
</Content>
</Module>

It might be useful to add something similar to widgets 1.0.
