Don't zope.app.forms and zope.app.browser.forms correlate to make 
(simple) widgets?  Wouldn't a similar pattern be used to make widgets 
for other display systems based on Schema definitions?

And, as an aside, why are widgets declared with the browser:page 
element?  Seeing browser:page used for this and for other elements like 
Traverse has me a little confused about this element (it seems a little 
overused, or just misnamed).

   <browser:page
       permission="zope.Public"
       
allowed_interface="zope.app.interfaces.browser.form.IBrowserWidget"
       for="zope.schema.interfaces.IInt"
       name="edit"
       class="zope.app.browser.form.widget.IntWidget"
       />
