OK, I decided to take this a step further.
I have created a new base field which is a cross between field and panel.
The idea is that the panel can take a list of items (fields) and treat them as one field.
Since it is a panel these items can be organized anyway you like.
A hiddenfield is created for storing the value. This value is the value of all the fields separated by a token.
setValue, getValue, enable, disable, markInvalid, clearInvalid all work.
Here is the code for the fieldpanel....Any recommendations for a better name?
You can change the timefield example by changing Ext.panel to Ext.ux.form.FieldPanel
I'll zip this up with a couple examples later.
EDIT: oops I put the wrong code in....here is the fieldpanel
/**
* @class Ext.ux.form.FieldPanel
* @extends Ext.Panel
* This class enables a form field to be built using multiple fields and other items.
* This class started as a field extension of panel (provided by extjs.com).

* @constructor
* Creates a new FieldPanel
* @param {Object} config Configuration options
