I don't agree with killing a way to send formed html to client.
Web2py is for backend development, in spite of most clients run js,
some of them, don't. There are non-js clients. wget is one of them. I
know, it's not widely used, but depending on your application, it is a
client of it.
As I explained at the other message, I don't agree with killing a way
to generate backend form html.
