This is stupid.

One of the big wins for Zope 3 was that you were supposed to be able to 
re-use UI code without having to write it all from scratch.

The ZMI has a lot of widgets that people should want to re-use 
(generically: tree controls, file widgets, directory listings, etc, 
specifically: forms and configuration for the "generic" parts of zope)

It sounds like you're advocating writing every bit of UI from scratch, 
as you have to in Zope 2 due to the hard-coded nature of the ZMI, but 
I'm hoping I'm mistaken...

Am I?
