> We have a situation where a generated form will contain a child panel that is itself another generated form.  We would like our binder implementation to automatically add the child generated form to the parent form so that its validation is properly linked.  However, there is currently no way to get access to the parent Form from within FormUIProvider.bind(...) - at best, one can get access to the FormModel from the BindingFactory, but adding the child FormModel to the parent FormModel does not provide the kind of link we need (child Form to parent Form).  Since FormUIProvider.bind is working on the UI level (Form) and not only at the model level, it makes sense (to me anyway) to pass the Form in as a parameter.
