Since I'm the person accused of shooting Arno's idea down in flames, I'd
like to say that I think the PHPAPP framework proposed is an excellent idea.

I'm working on a similar process at the moment where I deconstruct the form
created by the designer, convert it into a template and then process it
with template.inc. Obviously a horrible hack, and PHPAPP or something built
around XSLT is obviously a superior option.

I'm all for including Arno's idea as an optional extension to PHPLIB, the
way cart.inc and template.inc are optional at present.
