Yes, I like the idea of a callback that can be overridden. Alex - are you saying this is an ajax solution or a solution that takes place at formset creation time?
Also, in the rendered output for a field, think it would be nice for non-editable fields to have ids associated with them the same way that editable fields have ids. In the ajax usage case - imagine a case where you have a continent field rendered that is *not* editable, and based on some other event (ie, a check box), you then want to send an ajax request to populate the country dropdown to contain all countries in the continent. It is not easy to send the country value as part of an ajax request because its field in the form has no id at all.
