I don't think we necessarily want the framework itself to have to support
server side rendering -- that would involve a lot of code duplication.
However, you could easily use the metadata output in your own code to
generate the HTML, or just continue to use the existing SQLFORM.

Keep in mind that with the new system, you won't necessarily have to write
Javascript -- the Javascript that renders the forms will be provided by the
framework.

Note, if you don't do {{=form}} in the view, then the form is never
serialized into HTML (though the server-side DOM is created, so there is
still some waste if you're not using any of the HTML or widgets).
