If you want to provide true RAD functionality in Tapestry it has 
nothing to do with the underlying framework. Instead, the only obvious 
choice would be to provide something akin to NeXT's InterfaceBuilder 
for the web: wysiwyg "drawing" of the UI. And don't even waste your 
time mentioning WOBuilder: it's a utter failure, not even remotely 
close to IB. Also, something like IB implies two things: a set of 
useful, generic components to get started. And a plug-in API ala 
IBPalette to allow third party to provide their pre-build components. 
With such a tool there is no need to handle any html template or 
description files: the tool takes care of them. Your only "worry" is to 
provide an (optional) implementation.

Such a tool, coupled with a "rapid turn around mode", would go a long 
way to provide RAD capacities: draw & run. Nothing much to it.

Cheers,

PA.
