I'm a bit annoyed by the current status of our flowscript API's for
CForms. I'll leave the intro for what it is and just jump right into it:
Form.showForm()
===============
I find that this function hides too much of how a form is processed, and
stands in the way of doing more advanced stuff.
I propose that instead of Form.showForm(), we just let the user control
it:
var form = new Form("my_form_definition.xml");
var finished = false;
while (!finished) {
   cocoon.sendPageAndWait("my-pipeline", {"form": form});
   finished = form.processSubmit();
}
In this scenario, you need to write 5 lines instead of one
form.showForm() call. However, it provides several advantages:
* You can pass multiple form objects to the sendPageAndWait call (the
FTT supports referencing different forms using the location attribute on
ft:form-template)
 

Can you describe this in more detail or provide some pseudo code on how 
a page with multiple forms would be sent and processed (or point to the 
documentation if there is already something about this)?

Thanks,
