We've been thinking long and hard recently about whether or not it's possible to dynamically generate a form (or wizard-style set of forms) from a given Schema. This is basically because we're getting lots of requests to build "ingestion interfaces" that allow people to add content to a database based on a given metadata standard (which is provided as a schema). I think there's a lot of crossover between our schema-based forms plan and your RT. > Thoughts?
