I have also been very keen to get some improvements in Cocoon 2 in regards
to HTML Form symmetry.
I am now working on a prototype which I'll hopefully share with the group in
a week or so.
In the meanwhile I'll add to your questions another one:
With the current validation descriptor files, how would one handle forms
with multiple items of the same type. Like a list of items and their prices.
How do I write a rule to validate that the price of any item should be
min="5" and max="100" ?
