Thanks for answers, even if no-one so far has presented "the winning
solution".
How to take the pain away from form writing? How to bring back the
POWER? How to avoid dealing with minute form details while trying to
build proper apps/services?

Thank you. To nitpick, you didn't really answer my question, but the
question "what kind of templating systems are there". I didnt ask for a
templating system :) Some would be suitable for what I was asking for.
Haml and Hpricot are now under my investigative gaze...

To nitpick, I dont think this is the problem, you have misinterpreted my
question or the concept of content.
Personally, I am just trying to find the simplest, most intuitive (->
fastest) way to create html code for forms. Styling (presentation)
happens entirely in css so it has nothing to do with form content. So I
think you have a slight misinterpretation there.

Now this idea I like. Wham! Blam! Thank you mam!
More than words... is what I would like to see... URLs.
Thanks
