what would work (and is a good idea now that you bring it up) is an
html-element class of which widget class (with its current behaviour)
and generic-html-input are subclasses of. html-element would have
slots for style, class, id, onclick, etc. widget-class would maintain
its current behaviour and the form stuff would avoid spurious divs.
