If you point me to the Zope 2 code and I can have a go at it.

Sure :-) I've been watching the schema and widgets framework for a long
time now but haven't actually sat down to write code based on it. At the
moment I am investigating how and if our Zope2 products will live on in
Zope3. I must say that I am very impressed with the forms framework from
what I've seen so far, so well done to everybody that contributed to it.
