This Mapbuilder approach is akin to what I was envisioning, i.e.: - return some XML for an editing form, transformed into HTML - spit form submission results back to the object in question

Of interest to you would be how the attributes are automatically updated when a user enters data into a form element. (Have a look at the rendered HTML using Firebug).
