I don't think there's a strong need for it (tho it would occasionally
be handy).  But I agree with Ivan's point that there's no need to make
things intangible at all, usually: if the user wants to move outside of
the intended fields of a form, there's no reason to prevent him from
doing that.
The Widget library has done that forever and I've heard no complaint
about this aspect of the library.
