Was setting up a new app today, and had an idea: what if the fields  
block could 'group' fields somehow. Here's a sketch:

   fields do
     group :contact_info do
       email_address :email_address, :login => true
       first_name :string
       middle_name :string
       last_name :string
       suffix :string
       nickname :string
       organization :string
       address_line_1 :string
       address_line_2 :string
       city :string
       state :state_abbr
       zipcode :us_zip_code
       country :string
     end
     group :some_fields_the_user_shouldnt_change do
       magic_field :string
     end
   end

Then one could reference those group names somehow in, for instance,  
only_changed? or none_changed? to simplify permissions checking. Rapid  
might want to wrap a group in a named fieldset tag, to make a long  
form look nicer, and so on.

Does this make sense to anybody else?
