Is there a common commercial model? - how can you be sure that the as the component is updated, it won't impact other pieces tied to it? There really isn't any guarantee is there?... - you note that broad acceptance is important and it implies that the source of the component must have a solid reputation, but I think its important to state that the source must be reputable...I could see this raising all sorts of security concerns - for instance, what if someone were to imbed some malware in the code that cause a security breach...
