So after the form is submitted, you want to save the form contents 
somehow, then present a login form, then after the user logs in, save it 
to the database?

Is the part you're not sure of how/where to save the form contents? 
There are the usual options for preserving data across several requests, 
i.e. stash, database, etc.

Then you'd have to decide how you want to save the data. You *could* use 
FormHandler to do that, but if you have an already validated set of 
data, it might be simpler to just save it to the database yourself.

I'm not quite sure if I addressed the particular issues you were having; 
if not, please clarify :)
