Heh, indeed. Though now that I see it, I notice that it's using the 
non-existent <fieldgroup> tag, rather than <fieldset>. I realise it's 
mostly used in the test, but you may want to fix that. :-)

One other question: I want the Group's to be instantiated and populated 
at run time. That is, I don't want a class for each one, but rather I 
want to be able to distribute fields across groups via various adapters 
looked up by the form.

Is this sensible? Should I instantiate Group objects directly and set 
their fields etc? Or should I do something else?
