Hi there,

I've hacked a FormController to support unidirectional binding and added a
reset and a commit method. The code is available here:
http://github.com/KnisterPeter/qooxdoo-formcontroller and could probably
integrated into qooxdoo core. :-)
Maybe I find some time and better integegrate this directly into the
FormController
