I like the idea of having such feature with TYPO3 very much, but here 
are some small annotations:
- search RFC #7096 by Benni Mack and try to implement it with your 
feature (since I'm going to change IRRE as well and alt_doc_ajax.php 
will be removed until TYPO3 4.2.0-final)
- remove redunance from your code - there are some copy & pastes from 
other Core parts which doesn't seem to be changed - so, please use the 
original functions
- putting the new feature to a new class is fine with me, but we need a 
common name/scheme for it - maybe this feature is not only useful for 
TCEforms. What do others think?
