This is quite good timing, as I'm just this minute looking at zby's
work on "Composed" elements.

I thing this would probably be the correct approach to achieve this,
as there would be major limitations on using just a Filter - for
example, it wouldn't work with HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC - because there
would be no field named 'address', it still wouldn't get saved to the
database.
