These fallback methods I have clearly marked with the word "Fallback:" in bold so that one can quickly browse over the specs and see which fallbacks are supposed to be used. I think this makes more sense than moving them to an extra page, as now they stand together with the new keywords which they replace. I have also added a new keyword which allows to give hints with each option definition, which type of widgets should be used. Here both data types or directly widget types can be supplied. Till
