Nope. Again, it could have a lot of side-effects, just a simple reload 
could have constraints (that's why right now the whole page is reloaded).

Well, I'm thinking of a "fadeOut/fadeIn" without reloading when e.g. 
changing the pagetype :), and then some tabs get added, and some fields 
are just getting removed.

Andreas Wolf is working on it. Status: Mmmh, I would say he's got a lot 
of stuff done (TCEforms split up in single classes), but there are some 
critical issues left. Once my other project (the uploader) is done, I 
want to hop on and help with the development. The code is in the 
"listmodule" branch, you can get that from forge. If you're interested 
in helping to test or develop, contact Andreas directly. That would be 
awesome... TCEforms right now is just such a mess, we need to 
straightend that out.

Well, a requirement paper (maybe in the wiki?) would be awesome, so we 
can share our thoughts.

Here is the perfect place, via PM (if it's getting too big), or in the 
4.3 mailing list, together with the 4.3
