Widget Lifecycle?

Question

Alot of phone OSes are starting to support W3C widgets, or something very similar.

I am still a little confused about what exactly widgets can do?

All the example widgets I have seen have just a 'index.html' page. Are widgets allowed to have multiple pages they can navigate between?

Also do widgets have any mechanism to run in the background?

Any good online documentation about W3C widget lifecycle? or blackberry widgets?

This will probably not answer your question, but I can give you an example of an application that was developed for the mobile using W3C widgets. Here is a blog post that describes their use:
