Believe it our not, this is still something that seems to be missing 
even in rails.  Forms can be built from eRB or other template libraries, 
but that still requires some fairly close interaction with the nuts and 
bolts of the form especially if you want more then just the default 
types.

This is an area where the separation of content from presentation is 
still a real challenge.  It should be possible to describe what data one 
wants from the use in one place and make decisions about how to ask for 
that data in another.  If you have any luck with this let us know.
