After much discussion, we decided to break the concept of 'Allowed values' out of 'Text' and 'Number' fields to create a new field type called 'List' (see http://groups.drupal.org/node/17757 for the discussion).
The new field module has been created but it needs lots of additional attention. I'm going to try to clean it up as much as possible before our initial patch hits core.

karens commentedThis is mostly cleaned up. I can get the Optionwidgets/List combinations working for various Optionwidgets widgets without errors. I'm sure there are more fixes needed, but I think this is good enough for the first patch.
