Is FormKit still maintained? If it is not actively developed any more
and not used for any other web frameworks, I think it would be good to
continue development inside the Webware SVN and release it together with
Webware, maybe with some improvements like the additions you have made.
FormKit is still maintained, but there's not much "action"... it pretty much does what it does. We're not improving it much. We get the occasional bugfix from the community, but that's about it.
We have a TRAC account at Python hosting set up, but it got so mercilessly spammed that I think we locked it up.

We'd be open to rolling FormKit into webware, but FormKit really isn't webware-centric. We have a glue servlet that makes it work very well, but it can be used on its own, too. I don't think that many people do that, but I use it in Pylons.
I also like to add something like FunFormKit's SimpleHTMLGen.py to
Webware, maybe as module in the WebUtils package. Is something like that
also part of FormKit?
I'm not familiar with the module you mention, but FormKit does indeed generate HTML; it does valid XHTML, with CSS, scripting, and all of those sorts of extra attributes.
FormEncode takes a different approach; it allows template designers to handle the form layout and such, and just looks for the values and validates them... which is a pretty cool idea.
