Okay, but the Field.Text that takes a Reader doesn't seem to be a pure convenience method, it makes use of the Reader, doesn't it? So to keep that feature we probably need another public constructor just like the current one with parameters name, value, and with two resp. three enumerations, but it needs to take a Reader instead of a String. Is that correct?
