I asked this question on the user group and got no reply fast, so I just wrote a derived class to do it quickly:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-users/n87bFh8IYYc/MhkNmVBDAwAJ it's a hack and not what I'd call a patch, but one user liked it and asked that I seek it's inclusion in Django. The justification is on that user page already, but in summary is to drive for some presentation consistency between ModelForm and DetailView to enable simple consistent rendering of generic forms or views in the same manner. I'm new to Django, wouldn't say I'm a django developer (excepting I'm trying to build a simple website with it and learning it and doing a proof of concept at home ;-) so I'm certainly not up for contributing code per se, but think this serves as a demo for a simple patch that I think Django would benefit from.
