3313	decouple BoundField from BaseForm._html_output	gustavo.torrico@…	Adrian Holovaty	"*[http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/newforms/forms.py newforms.forms]

 As mentioned in *[http://tinyurl.com/2xrvb9 this  message],  the preferred way to mark fields required would be to use CSS.  From what I can see, the  simplest way to do this would be to  allow  the user to  override the label_tag function in {{{BoundField}}}. Doing this, however, would necessitate having to rewrite the entire _html_output function in {{{BaseForm}}}. 

In order to avoid this, I propose having that function call {{{BaseForm.__get_item__ so}}} that if you wanted to generate your own customized label tags, you would only need to override {{{BaseForm.__get_item__ and BoundField.label_tag}}} (smaller changes than {{{BaseForm._html_output}}})
