The problem with modal is there are two ways to implement it: 1) using an ajax callback 2) loading one form per item with the page
1) is not a good solution because would require the programmer to create the callback. It is one more step and one that scares lots of people. 2) will make ages heavy to load. Moreover it would require a model js library and I am skeptical welcome should ship with that. You can already do modal is you a jqmodal and if you use custom links to link to your callback (which can be implemented using SQLFORM.grid as well). Anyway, let me know how you think it should work, perhaps I am missing something and I am sure it can be improved.
