Hi Martijn -

A few non guruish comments.

You mean you could not pass extra info in terms of keword arguments or
that was not an option?

The __roles__ (or <method>___roles__) attribute is the fundamental
attribute that holds the roles info for each method, class etc. (unless
things changed radically in later versions. If you are not using
ZPublisher directly you shouldn't need to mess with it.

Then again you are trying to do pretty unusual stuff so you might need an
unusual solution ;-)

I haven't offered much help, but if I get some time tonight I will read
Form.py.

Good Luck -
