OK.  Certainly there are some cases when it matters less than others;  
and we have broken the constraint before.  This choice breaks it a  
lot more.  Moreover, Fred and Marius both brought up valid and  
reasonable alternate solutions AFAICT.  If you choose to ignore it,  
no problem: I will.  If I am able to use z3c.form, I would likely use  
it in a context in which I can make more assertions about the users.   
It just potentially limits the applicability of the packages, IMO.
