Right, right.

I confused myself. You were speaking specifically about the validation
layer in FormEncode, and I confused that with FE in its entirety.

FormEncode's identity is a little mixed up. In many ways I'm really throwing away most of FormEncode except for the validation


We're certainly open to improving the validation constructs in FK. I
need to look at your library at some point soon.

I know from your blog (which I enjoy, thanks) that you're not into
form tag generation. We're not ready for that yet, but I sympathize.
Should people need tag generation, I doubt that there is anything much
better than FormKit. Perhaps that's all Subway needs?

I don't mind form tag generation -- I just think it's unreasonable to *require* form tag generation. Generators are a great way to create quality forms without a lot of effort. But a system that creates the tags for the form, and simultaneously fills in attributes like "value" and puts in error messages, is putting too much stuff together (IMHO); there's a good chance you'll want to replace the generator someday (maybe not, but a chance), and you shouldn't have to reimplement the other parts of the system at that point.
