One thing that bothers me in helpers object and in formbuild too is
that it appears impossible to use begin_form/end_form and similar
helpers with templating engines that enforce XML-iness, such as Kid
and Genshi (I'm using the latter). So, I had to take a look at what
begin_form/end_form generate, just to be sure I don't miss anything,
and simply spell their output out in my templates. It looks like
better integration of such helpers (maybe in the form of custom tags
a-la JSP) may be required.
Does that seem like a problem to other subscribers?
I was going to use Kid templates originally, because they're cleaner in the sense that they generate valid XML, always. Then I discovered that I couldn't use any of the begin_/end_ functions.
I decided that maintaining validity was never much of a problem for me when I was using PHP or DTML, so I'd take the cleanliness/expressiveness trade-off in favor of expressiveness.
This isn't really a solution to the problem so much as deciding to use Myghty because it seemed like a better fit. I'm still interested in Kid, I just don't think that maintaining validity is difficult enough to warrant sacrificing good tools.
I don't think there can be a solution to this problem. Well, I can imagine one involving continuations, but that probably won't help.
