XSLT and phplib don't deliver this. We need to look at something different. I am a big fan of Drupal's forms API, but I have also been impressed with the forms stuff in the Zend Framework. Unfortunately neither of these support different outputs from the same "form declaration". The templating engine would need to take all the complexity out of it. It would just generation the final markup, be it HTML, HTML with ajax enhancements, XUL or something else. For mobile clients something like WURFL would probably be a good start - see http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/php Combine this with a proper MVC architecture and we will have a great platform for future development :) A proper spec for this would be a good place to start if people think there is enough merit in the idea.
