This looks good.

In the same spirit, is there a way to get at the field's info such as 
'required' and 'description' so that the template can determine how 
these are rendered?

Here are some items that I think should be handled by the skin, not hard 
coded by the widgets:

- field label
- field description (currently hardcoded as a tooltip)
- whether or not the field is required
- error messages (as you've noted)
- ??? more here ???

Thoughts on this?
