As Felix was the only one giving oppinion about stuff above, I'll implement b)
which leads to 2 new
interfaces ATM to conform semantically to Avalonian CForm version:
ConfigurableWidgetListener extends WidgetListener and
ConfigurableWidgetValidator extends WidgetValidator each having a method of:
void setConfiguration(org.w3c.Element) throws Exception;

As nobody commented on this I'll going to branch cocoon-form before I commit
the sprinified CForms,
as soon as Reinhard has finished releasing. Do I have to branch each block
(cocoon-forms-impl and
cocoon-forms-sample) individually or is branching their upper directory
(cocoon-forms) enough?
