Thanks. A lot of interesting stuff in there and a lot of food for thought.

I have quite a few remarks, but not the time to do that today. I'll get 
back to that later.

I am rather doubtful about that. I don't know if IRRE really makes 
sense. I'm afraid that it would make the whole thing far too heavy. And 
how do you combine the TypoScript and the IRRE approach?

Couldn't we just do with a syntax like today, just expanded? If the 
wizard is good, it doesn't matter what's underneath. Same if we have 
helper classes to generate forms from within extensions.

Just a few preliminary remarks :-)

Have to rush off! Cheers
