And that is the mystery. I have been skating around this issue. There should really be a 'required' attribute on the base widget. If true it would add 'required_field' to the class so you can css it and would set the validator to V.NotEmpty by default. If a validator is passed in, that overrides V.NotEmpty. This means that you can do something like V.String(if_empty = None) and secretly make a required field not required, but I think this would work for most situations.
