	I agree with both changes, but not the reasoning for #1. Things
will be simpler if we drop this API, but the metadata author and js
author (this is a js API) are not necessarily the same person. By
dropping it we lose support for a few cases where things are dynamically
discovered and displayed, but I do not think we need to cover those in
v1.

	I was talking with Javier yesterday and he said he would prefer
the following changes to our widget APIs:
	
	(1) Get rid of getSupportedViews(). The metadata author already
knows the possible values for the 'view' attribute on the <content>
element since he authored the metadata. In the spirit of simplification,
let's get rid of this API
	(2) For requestNavigateTo(), change the datatype from
OpenAjax.widgets.View to a String which holds the name of the view
(e.g., 'default', 'edit', 'help', ...)
