I see, this is very clear.

BTW, what do you think of zope.app.form? As far as I know, it has some
basic interfaces like IInputWidget and IDisplayWidget, and they are used
by various packages. Then I don't see any reason to leave them under
zope.app.form. So, I think maybe we could also move them to zope.form or
somewhere generic package after we finish zmi package.
