I think, an outcome of your thoughts could very well be some additional 
z3.form-based package, or some recipe that covers your use case and eases its 
implementation.

I personally have some patterns in my application that repeat over and over, 
hence I wrote some classes that inherit from z3c.form.Form, added some helper 
methods, modified e.g. the update method, so that the result is e.g. 
a "SearchForm", or "CustomEditForm" class which can be used in my 
application.

Best Regards,
Hermann
