The other thing to remember here is that required is a minimalist sorta 
concept in Widget land. If a field is required, then you're just saying 
there must be some value for the field, even if it's an "empty" value 
(ie. an empty string or similar). If you wish to make a text widget be 
non-empty, then you need to enforce a min_length constraint.
