I have been thinking about using schemas in the pypes project. I already
use zope.interface and conceptually I think they would be much clearer
(and more powerful) combined.

I would also like to see the package structure for schemas improved
somehow. There's a lot of module indirection there to support
bootstrapping (so fields can be defined using schemas), and I find it
fairly confusing. I was trying to show how this works in a class and I
quickly remembered how opaque it is, especially for newcomers.

I would be willing to pitch in to help merge these and repackage. But it
will probably be April before I have the time.
