I'm working from the premise that every session instance holds on to
it's own application instance, which in turn can reference as many
Widget instances, each with individual state, as necessary. For example,
in my OnlineTester app, a single test widget holds several exercise widgets,
each of which has several answer widget.

yes. If you're keeping localization per widget, you can show LTR, RTL,
top-down and round-the-circle in one view belonging to one application
running in the one session associated with the one and only remote user
you'll have.... wait, that didn't come out right :-)

write a test for it. It's good practice.
