Oh, I forgot to reply to this too.  This is definitely on my mind.  I
also wrote FunFormKit (funformkit.sf.net), which is a form
rendering/validation library.  I'll be the first to admit it's too
complex, and I've wanted to reimplement it for some time... now my focus
is on reimplementing it with SQLObject in mind (though without any
actual ties).  It probably wouldn't be that hard to do this rendering
right now with FFK -- Luke has mentioned at least using some stuff from
FFK with SQLObject -- but SQLObject's design makes me happy, and I want
the entire system to make me happy, and FFK doesn't do that for me.

It's hard, though, because FFK is fairly advanced -- more advanced than
any other form processor I've seen (though I haven't done a survey of
alternatives in some time).  I want my new system to be just as
advanced, but a high bar can feel stifling (excuse the mixed metaphor).
