Okay, I answered my own question,
HTML::Widget::Element::NullContainer has a element
method as well.  Thank you perl -d :)

I added this accessor for element which returns the
type you used when instantiating it.  So:

my $w1 = HTML::Widget->new;
my $f1 = $w1->element('Fieldset', 'top');
my $e1 = $f1->element('Select',	'e1');

print $fi->element_type; ## Fieldset
print $e1->element_type; ## Select

This is just a easier way of doing a pattern match
against ref $f1 to get the type you used.

Attached is the test and the diffs for element,
nullcontainer and widget.  Please let me know if it
meets the specification.  Thanks!
