I have to admit I haven't really tried using them together yet.
Especially with 0.4, with repeating and compound fields, it becomes
harder to do layout (though 0.4 provides better layout as well).
But I have imagined them being used where the RenderableForm is in the
searchList, without any subclassing between them. Or, if you have two
forms, put a dictionary like {'form1': self.renderableForm('form1'),
'form2': self.renderableForm('form2')}

They aren't dynamic if you aren't using MutableForms. I wouldn't
recommend using those anyway. Otherwise they are simply the name of the
form -- each form on a page has to have a unique name.
