For my part I can leave in my project with these know issues...
Tres, are you saying that if I want to continue to use the next release 
of z3c.form with Zope2 / Plone, it would be necessary to upgrade to 
zope-2.12???
Is-it realistic? Actually zope-2.12 is not officially released and I 
don't know which are the potential problems to use it with plone3 ...
The 'creative solution' seems better to me. If I need it, I'll probably 
develop it.
