I think what i actually want is a form set, but I don't find that all that well
done either.
What I'm finding lacking is the ability to put a master/detail relationship in
a single form. For instance, Author/Books. Furthermore, I don't see a nice
way to work with dynamically expanding forms - IOW, allow the user to keep
adding books to an Author using DHTML.
So far my impression of forms is - ick - lame.
