good idea to make both.
We should have some things in mind

* conf for Wizard (allowItems, userItems), may be a interface for extensions
Conf should be possible by php or TS

* building with wizard or TS (should be no problem, as we need translator 
for both)

* using wizard by TCA (possible way for fe_user-inputs in any DB-tables)

* add element "Freetext"

* possibility to change validation-texts (for single formelement)

* possibility for Help texts (for single formelement)


So the syntax is also a basic common thing.
