Re: HTML builders

disclaimer: I just wanted to throw this out, as I have not extensively
researched the possibilities much.

I noticed that TableBuilder wasn't listed in the latest source tree
listing.  This may be a good time to discuss how indepth these builders
will/can be.  Question 1, what is the requirement for the need of a
builder?  The builders you mentioned here all (?) seem to work hand/hand
with other parts of the bc core.  (ex: formBuilder uses entityManager) 
Is there a place for builders that merely simplifies the HTML rendering?
(ie: tableBuilder, headerBuilder, ...)

There is a WOW pretty neat set of classes by Walt A. Boring IV called
phpHtmlLib (http://phphtmllib.sourceforge.net/) which does just this. 
One nice feature this project has is the ability to specify HTML 4.0 or
XHTML when you render your page.

I'm not suggesting that we integrated it into binarycloud;  I simply was
checking it out when I started questioning how extensive the binarycloud
builders will be.
