I completely agree, but I don't think the answer is to use a global
variable to influence django.forms. My plan for integration in to
Django proper was to modify Django's widget.render method to take an
optional as_xhtml=True/False argument. The {% form %} tag would then
set that argument based on context._doctype.
I would also modify Context to have an is_xhtml() method which does
the "self._doctype in xhtml_doctypes" check.
