What I've started doing, and absolutely love so far, is to write my 
forms purely in the HTML template (with a little bit a custom 
tags/attributes), then use Adam's HTML DOM to read that HTML form and 
generate all the backend form-handing *from* the HTML form, including 
all the appropriate per-field "validation failed".

I'm finding this works a lot better than defining forms in the backend 
code and then trying to generate the HTML I want from that.

Unfortunately it *only* supports runtime processing right now, but it's 
a fairly nice little templating system. The claims of being "logicless" 
are total BS, but a *truly* logicless system would be useless anyway.
