Question: How smart is it to build an application that uses more than
one widget set, i.e.  using both HP widgets and Athena widgets?
Obviously it can be done and will work, but are there any underlying
considerations that might make this Not A Good Idea?

Offhand, it would seem to me that since by definition a widget is a
functionally complete, cohesive module it ought to be able to be used
anywhere and in any context...
