I cannot agree. Sometimes I need to allow user on first page to choose which page will be next. For example, on first page user can check some checkboxes and regarding to user choice I would like to show forms which are availiable for choosed by user options. I don't want him to waste a time for filling data which are not important for him. Moreover all data on availiable pages should be validated independently from others. So if user choice is page 1 and 3 then I would like to verify data availiable on page 1 and 3 and don't validate data specific for page 2. It was very nicely done in jXForms. I would like also to show confirm page and allow user to go back between pages.
I really think javascript/flowscript is invented for just this type of action. Woody, JXTemplates and flowscript together (optionally bookmarking the state) allows all kinds of validation, as long as it can be expressed in javascript or java (which is almost everything).
The form is there literally the GUI with which the application interacts with the user. I think you can't really be more flexible than that.
