Thanks for the comments, Jeff.

The one thing I would note is that the -able behavioural widgets are not 
aimed at 'normal' XWT developers, or even theme designers.  They are for 
facilitating widget creation, ie the library widgets and custom widgets. 
  Hence it's more important that the name convey the meaning rather than 
be recognisable.

Although could you elaborate on the use of the term 'radioing', please?
