Robert, That sounds very interesting, I'll look forward to seeing it.
I've had a few private emails from people suggesting php pre-rendering with structures, or using Zend Forms. I thought I should make it clear that the reason that I'm not looking to go down that path is that that's where I've come from. (The framework I've been using has 'foxels' analagous to pixels, which are form elements that can be built using array specs, but which have renderers for html, xml and json.) This makes it really easy to create lots of forms where there aren't isn't the need for heavy single-form specific coding. The benefit I see of doing it this way is that it makes it easier to create highly complex one-off forms within the system using specific templates, but to have a generalised forms to hand for most of the rest... without having to change the backend logic. Hope that's as clear as mud...
