Lars, you sneaky bastard, putting that parameter into 4.6.2!  Good job!

Now ... it's also easy to write a standard form template that flags mandatory fields, very useful in some contexts (I did this for Greenpeace)

Would it be worthwhile adding a form option to do this flagging that would then be honored by our form templates?

Malte - yes, a "skins" repository is a good idea.  These good ideas just need a champion to volunteer to set up, document (we'd need a "how to write a skin" doc) etc to get implemented.

Regarding the visual indication for mandatory fields: excellent, that's very userfriendly.

But do we really need yet another form flag for that - why not just make it dependent on the already available 'optional' flag for the widget datatype?
