Yes, in my case I think I'll parse the flexform.xml file and generate 
the empty XML structure with %s placeholders for sprintf. This way, I'll 
be able to configure it within my extension.

My investigations led me to being able to retrieve the XML that is sent 
to the tt_content editor, that is with field definition and comments and 
labels. I would nead to reverse-engineer the code used to save a 
user-filled-in flexform to the DB to be able to remove "in a clean way" 
the DS/TO but I think it's not worth my needs.

I saw that Dmitry is there today, perhaps he'll give us a hint, if it's 
"easy" at all...
