Not necessarily, as you can see in the tagpack.
It is using existing hooks and a "real" form field name.

Definitely - since we will be both at T3UXW09 I guess we can come up with
some ideas for a unification of features.

Of course it will be modular, since it will need different modules and
plugins anyway.
I will write some ideas I had about the overall concept to the wiki this
