I don't get it. 95% of this--almost everything but having validation
warnings show up near the form elements--is already possible with a
stock TYPO3 setup (and some CSC overrides, of course) [1].

The current FORM cObject and wizard could certainly be improved to
make this easier--for example, it would be nice if the form wizard
were more two-dimensional and allowed form sub-groups defined
elsewhere (i.e. fieldsets) to be inserted into longer forms--think,
for example of the way that it's possible to insert content elements
into /other/ TV content elements, and it would be nice if the FORM
cObject was more like the COA in terms of flexibility--but I guess I
don't understand what you were asking about...
