Please also add


	$form->integrated_errors(1);

	[% form.as_xml %]

should allow you to just style

	.error {
		border: 1px solid red;
	}

and get small div or something around the actual form element, with
the error text just before or after the <input>.

Another thing to add is to please please please allow:

	1. good default error strings (validators know how to compose
	error messages with each other)

	2. as_xml should be easily broken up so that you can layout your
	form more freely:
		
		iterate elements by order

		extract elements by name

		be able to compose groups of elements, and iterate those
