Terms require access to a request. Any application's model code should
be happy to only deal with the values of sources.

Terms are used to map values to the UI parts of an application (by
providing identification tokens and user readable titles).

IMHO zope.schema doesn't need to know about terms.

I do agree that the whole issue of searching/querying sources is
currently underdesigned.
