We have this mostly working. The tool is called Borque. It generates screens,
actions, and templates based on XML input (which we'd prefer to add to the
torque DTD, but it can be separate).
We're currently working out data access control at the table and column level.
When that's working, we'll generate some sample applications and run some
tests. If we're happy, we'll clean it up and submit it for review. Give us a
month or so.

We investigated this, and decided to put it off because of the variety of
syntaxes used in various HTML form elements, among other things. Later, we may
write an interface with methods like "getAsHtmlSelectOption" or something like
that. If we did that, then we'd probably specify the preferred form element in
some XML file. Or something.
