How is that fundamentially different from creating a checkbox? It 
renders/represents something, has state interesting to and modifyable by 
the app and could theoretically be implemented by composing other 
graphics in the server or implementing a Graphic itself.

Yes, just like the WidgetKit and its method which creates a checkbox. As 
app, you don't know, if the checkbox factory function implements the 
checkbox by composing other Graphics or deriving from existing Graphics 
code or completely rolling its own. Also compare my tree widget 
prototype. Same for the HTML component. For the app, you call a function 
and get a Graphic (plus maybe other ways to modify the state).
