I think we should not be squeemish about using zope.app. Widgets are
the main reason that we are using Zope 3 in Zope 2. I would like
to see most of the widget code get lifted up out of zope.app. This is
of general interest (not just z2).

I'll note that there is an opportinuty for CMF-based systems
that might not be interesting to Five. Specifically, the obvious fact
that the mechanisms in the CMF are similar to those in Zope 3.  It
should be possible to create a new kind of CMF layer that does view
lookup.
