+1, with the qualifier that I'd like the PLIP to be locked down to the
3 portlets listed there now, and that, as Martin noted, the static
portlet will use the kupu formlib widget from PLIP 200. The PLIP is
currently worded too open-ended but the discussion here has put me at
ease. :-)

Note that I see the static portlet as non-content, which is the common
usecase. Using other content as a portlet is a different angle outside
the scope of the PLIP and although I'd love to see that appear for
Plone, that has many aspects to work out still making it too risky for
3.1, in my opinion.

Absolutely +1, a kupu widget would be a great asset.

+1, bring on the USW!

+1, making formlib forms a viable alternative to yet another
archetypes aspect. :-)
