Just an example to demonstrate my personal opinion:
<form name="name" type="single" target="createGlAccountOrganization"
title="" default-map-name="account">
<field name="field1">
<!-- if no controller element, then default controller will be
used based on field type from entity metadata -->
<controller name="xxx.extend.Flex.RealTimePricing">
<!-- parameters can be added in such style. Not like current
design that we have to put attributes or sub elements -->
<param name="style" value="bluelight"/>
</controller>
<visbility>
<!-- here ofbiz can define a set of default implementation.
Also, developers can implement new ones based on interface -->
<!-- Maybe it is even better to introduce AND and OR to
combine multiple conditions together -->
<condition
implementation="org.ofbiz.core.condition.NonEmptyField"/>
</visbility>
<!-- Ofbiz can use appropripate validation java implementaiton if
the validation is on server side or can render javascript if on
clientside.-->
<validity>
<And>
<!-- client side validitor sample -->
<validitor name="org.ofbiz.core.ClientSide.NotEmpty"/>
<!-- server side validitor sample -->
<validitor name="org.ofbiz.core.ServerSide.BetweenOf">
<param name="startValue" value="1"/>
<param name="endValue" value="5"/>
</validitor>
</And>
</validity>
<!-- ofbiz can use different css style for editable and non
editable context -->
<editability>
<condidtions>
<Or>
<condition
implementaiton="org.ofbiz.core.condition.hasPermission">
<param name="permission" value="admin"/>
</condition>
<condition implementaiton="xxx.extension.blabla">
</condition>
</Or>
</conditions>
</editablity>
</field>
</field>
</form>
BTW: In order to keep back compatible, we can use a new tag <ofbizForm> or
something and then implement a new form render.
