FWIW, I've built my forms without the "layout-building". Well, that is to
say, I only used the layout-building to generate the field itself, but I
placed the fields individually myself. That was actually more work in FFK
can letting FFK do the heavy lifting, but I guess that's obvious :)

This reminded me (and also distracted me :-) ) that I've got some various
hacks to FunFormKit pieces that I made for a conference registration app
that has an international audience. These are not "polished", and there
are doubtless lots of I18N corner cases I totally don't handle, but at
least I deal with a plus sign in phone numbers :-)
I've posted excerpts here:

Please understand that much of this is "incomplete" code, and should serve
as something for you co "cut, paste, and curse" into your own code right
now. Not unlike mkmodel.el, this is something I've got in my "eventual"
queue to polish up and release formally :-)
(PS: Ian, since FunFormKit is LGPL, if you want me to, I'll publish the
tarball alongside these :-) ).
