What Tags should we include?

Base
- Div
- Anchor
- Form/Submit
All supported/official Widgets?
- Tabs
- Date Picker
- Dialog
- Accordion
- Progressbar
- Slider
All supported/official Interactions?
- Dragable
- Dropable
- Resizeable
- Selectable
- Sortable

There is some consensus that only supported/official jQuery widgets should be supported. The set of tags should be kept small and simple.

Other code

Topics: this feature has proven to be very easy to use and flexible, so we should have it (and the current Dojo plugin has it)

Things to do/avoid (learned from the Dojo experience)

Keep the tags simple, for the simple use cases
Write a cookbook kind of documentation for common uses cases (like the one for Dojo)
DO NOT try to fix any bugs in jQuery by extending their code and doing our own fixes, this ends up becoming a huge mess.

To Do
