Good to hear - I have another bug report on the way regarding External Data
(I will send that one to you directly).

After using SMW and Forms for a year, I am slowly settling on a personal
convention:

- Use plain english for the label of the forms and templates
- Use the property name for the actual field name

That way, the template uses the property names - which makes it easier to
automate things afterward (I found myself wanting to analyze properties at
the page level, without going to 'Browse date' or 'RDF'... and having
different values between properties and field names makes that task more
difficult).
