I am thinking of those occasions where the default rendering doesn't suit
my needs. For example the table layout doesn't work when I wish the labels
to go above the form fields, so in these situations I have a custom form
view.

I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing this out. If I define custom forms
using:
{{=form.custom.widget.name}}
for example, does the whole form get serialised then, or just the relevant
widget?
