To be honest I originally threw the use-when tag into the form field
as a hack since I didn't want to implement more comprehensive
conditionals at the time.
One big issue with the use-when tag is parse-ability, for certain
machine things and also for certain people, and that was the reason in
simple-methods and the screen widget for more comprehensive
conditionals.

I would like to ask you what you think about having use-when
attribute for various screen elements and defaulted to true.
The current condition check and widgets, fail-widgets mechanism is a
bit wordy, does not allow easy switching for any type of element and
is not as close in grammer to use-when in widget-form.xsd.. should
make grammers closer if possible in various spots.
I was hoping it to have it for all elements. so for instance one
could say something like this:
<include-form name="FormRef1" location="SomeLocation.xml" use-when="$
{showRef1}"/>
<include-form name="FormRef2" location="SomeLocation.xml" use-when="$
{showRef2}"/>
or container, or widget or etc..
<container use-when="${showSpecialCaseContainer}">
..
</container>
Thoughts ?
