Just because something is in the dojo.js manifest does not mean it's
valid. And, unfortunately, it's possible that entries are out of date.
Similarly, omissions are likely, as Shane said. It's redundant data
and manually maintained. I think the only valid data to look at is
the code itself.
I believe we did deliberately leave out experimental widgets as well
as "private" widgets, such as the editor2 and treev3 pieces.

Sure, I'll file the defect and start working on a patch.
Question is what gets added? All the widgets in the API doc that are
missing from the file? If the API doc is the master list then why are
there
widgets in the namespace/dojo.js file that are not in the API doc?
BTW, I think changing the name of that file makes things less confusing but
I will not attmept that as I don't know all the interdependencies.
