  Several years ago it was pointed out that the chiral soliton model allows
naturally for satisfactory agreement with the experimentally well-determined
proton magnetic form factor $G_M^p$. The corresponding result for the proton
electric form factor at that time was in serious disagreement with the data
because the calculated $G_E^p$ showed as a rather stable feature a zero for
$q^2$ near 10 (GeV/c)$^2$ which was hard to avoid for reasonable choices of
parameters, while the data at that time showed no indication for such a
behaviour. Meanwhile, new data have confirmed those $G_E^p$ predictions in a
remarkable way, so it appears worthwhile to have another look at that model,
especially concerning its flexibility with repect to the electric neutron
formfactor $G_E^n$ while trying to maintain the satisfactory results for the
proton form factors.
