I think I see better what you are saying.  Are you saying that currently 
this works:

s=Slider(...)
display(s)

(and then in another cell)

display(s)

but then after this change, that wouldn't work?  I guess it would still 
"work", in that it would probably move the slider DOM element to the new 
position.  But I think you're right that it would make displaying the 
same widget multiple times difficult.

Do we want to support displaying a single widget multiple times (for 
example, as different sliders)?  Perhaps that is the slippery slope to 
exposing full view classes in Python so you can display the slider data 
also as other controls elsewhere?

Thanks,
