I had only time to quickly review the code, but I absolutely hate the idea of 
a "subFields" attribute. ;-) That just seems very hacky to me.

Having said that, I have not looked at the code carefully enough to see the 
motivation and see whether there is an alternative to that approach still 
fulfilling your original design goals.

BTW, have you looked at groups in z3c.form at all? They seem to come a little 
closer to what you are looking for, I think.

Regards,
Stephan
