Am I reading the book correctly? SQLFORM chapter doesn't mention 
formstyle=bootstrap. I haven't been able to find it mentioned anywhere else 
in the book either, not even in the section about modifying views.

So, could this be considered an experimental feature and thus moved to a 
contrib without breaking the backwards compatibility of web2py?

Regards,
Ales
