Right now the best option (which sucks) to really use forms in a 
flexible way is to copy the content of default_edit_form.pt, tweak it 
for your application's needs, perhaps put it in a macro.

We need documentation on how to construct forms in the first place, and 
a few standard macros people can reuse (with docs).
