That recipe references r458, and we're now over 1100. FastData has
support for foreign keys, but it doesn't have the particular
customization you've mentioned.

This is probably the #1 problem with FastData, and the biggest reason
it's not a part of the core at this point. Kid and/or TurboGears need
some additional functionality before you'll really have stylistic
control over a FastData app. Kid would need to be able to specify
extends at render time or TG needs template override capability. TG
will get template overrides in 1.1 for sure.
