Not sure if I'm mixing it? ;-)
I know that it is possible (or at least should be) to run google gadgets and 
mac os x widgets on Plasma. Put these are also just technical details.

From the user's point of view this should be the same.
So they just run a "plasmoid" or however you want to call it.
Not matter if it's a native C++ plasmoid, a python script
or a Mac OS X Widget that's wrapped to run on Plasma.

But as far as I understood you between your lines you interpret it this way:
Widget: every gadget you can add to the desktop (or to other containers)
Plasmoid: the native C++ widgets

Also the dialog says: "Add Widgets..."
So it seems that this is the term to use, right?
