Thanks for the link to the page with the known issues.

The Amazon widgets worked fine for me in 5.1.3. I just tried it 
again. However, it does appear that Amazon sends the widgets to 5.1.3 
only if you change the site-specific browser identification to 
something like Safari -- it's not sent by default if you identify 
yourself as OmniWeb. I must have changed that setting long ago.

In 5.5, Amazon displays the widgets if the browser is identified as 
OmniWeb, but they don't work correctly.

Anyway, it's good to know you're working on the issue, and I hope 
it's helpful to know that 5.1.3 did have working code for the widgets.

Thanks.
