With "CMFFormController" these things become more standardized.

Currently, we have different idioms:

  *  form action goes to the page template. A python script or method
     at the start of this template performs validation, applies
     changes and does navigation.

  *  form action goes to a script. The script performs validation,
     applies changes
     and then renders some template (or redirects).

With "CMFFormController" we get a single idiom:

  Form action always goes to the template.
  Validation is modular and performed automatically
  Changes are applied as part of navigation
  Navigation is performed automatically
