Yes, that really is a render-time decision.  The trouble is that the
signature of the render() method is

  def render (self, request):

so there isn't anywhere to add extra render-time info.  All the widget
classes work like this -- information needed at render-time is passed to
the constructor.  This hasn't been a problem for us, because our system
tends to create Widget (and Form) objects very late -- usually right
before rendering them.  If your Widget objects have an actual lifetime,
well, hmmm... my best defence is that they just weren't designed to work
that way!
