I did a EditFeatureAttributes control a few months ago that first did a WFS DescribeFeatureType query to determine the attributes for a feature type and then created a form with inputs for each attribute. It registered with featureAdded and featureSelected events on the WFS layer to open and populate the form. Clicking on a 'save' button then triggered a Save strategy to do a WFS transaction to the DB. I seem to recall that it needed some extra information about attribute types, primary keys, etc. but it was mostly driven from the DescribeFeatureType response.
I don't think there is an example online anywhere yet but I could probably put the code somewhere if you were interested.
