I think there are several things mixed in here, and it would be good to
separate them, talk about them one at a time:

-->  Photoshop design:   This presumably talks about layout of html or flash
user interface;
    > what is needed here?
    Perhaps:
      -- standard naming of css fields (for html layouts)
      -- ??  someone applying a photoshop layout to some (perhaps?) grid
system, making a defacto std
      -- photoshop design to other layouts:  (or perhaps other than
photoshop: e.g. illustrator / vectore based):  svg layout elements;   flash
(that is an entirely different thing)

I think the graphical design is independent of

-->  layout design:   HTML / CSS is not the only user interface method (it
is old, standard, and roughly static; you can add javascript, java, or svg
actions within);  you can also do all or parts of your layout in a flash vm.
   > there is layout for the designer & application writer;
   > there is the question (and great need) for layout modificaitons for the
content manager of an application / cms;  e.g. something like jpolite;

--> custom forms design:
   >  the web2py backend does many "template" (standard) things for you,
making thinking about forms unnecessary to get many things working.   What
is needed is a clean behavioral & interface model for those templates, so
that people can design their own - e.g. "custom forms".
   >  that's the backend interface;  it generates html forms;  for custom,
there is a need for interaction w/ json (?), svg, flash (amf);

It would be nice to have examples of doing each of these things - most of
them will never be "done" by the framework, but custom per application -
still, examples would be nice - soon as people have examples.


Am I missing / misstating anything?
