Right, you don't need a body tag in the view either. In layout.html, there
should be an {{include}} -- that gets replaced with the entire contents of
the view that extends the layout. See the /views/default/index.html view of
the "welcome" app for an example.

Yes, that's fine too. Just a matter of preference. Since the CSS relates to
the presentation, some would argue references to it belongs in the views.

I don't use reCAPTCHA, so don't have any special insights. Have you read
the book

Looks like it shouldn't be too difficult to add to a form.
