Hmmm, that's for sure an option, however, I'd not like to see that people 
contributing widgets would accidentally break z3c.form, moreover, I got the 
impression that z3c.form aims to be very generic and therefore should not 
deal with anything specific like an email widget.

What's your opinion on this, Stephan?

Best Regards,
Hermann
