Elementary MicroContent
I noticed two widgets (Elements and PTSmall) that display a periodic table of elements. Clicking on an element reveals some information about that element. This is very similar to a MicroContent client. The elements are here the Items and any information about an element is structured MicroContent. There is a small View-pane, a large Items-pane (the periodic table) and even Lists (Halogens, etc.) marked in colour. The number of Items is pretty fixed and probably the information about an element as well.
I can even imagine that such MicroContent is part of a MicroWeb. Any mention of an element could refer to more information about that element. These widgets offer very limited information, so something more elaborate would be needed. Anyway add Elements as a new MicroContent type.
