Yes, I will contribute the code. It's really not quite "ready for prime time"
as I think there will still be some design changes, but it is already quite
powerful. For example, you pass your form description to the compiler, and
the compiler then generates a set of functions (thunks) which, when
executed, instantiate the form, set up all the bindings, and so on. 

What's nice about this is that it allows you to build the form
asynchronously in the background. That way, you can create complicated forms
in the background when your app starts up, without bogging down the CPU or
causing a "script running too slow" error from the browser. This is
especially helpful for IE6, where the widget creation is *so* slow.

I'll try to clean it up a bit and check it in as a contrib today so you can
take a look at it.

Hi dave,
thats interesting! We have planed such a feature too for the  
framework. (http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2295) Do you  
plan to share your code? Perhaps we can benefit from your ideas /  
implementation? I have today added a qooxdoo form which can render a  
given set of form items (qx.ui.form.Form). See the weekly blog post  
from today (http://news.qooxdoo.org/the-week-in-qooxdoo-2009-07-24)  
for some details on the plans. Perhaps you can use such a form for  
your code, too?
Best,
Martin
