[html-formfu] RFC: nested block tags

Hi,

One of the things that my HTML coders keep telling me about formfu is
that they want to create "block" elements that can be nested. A simple
example is something like

  - type: block
    tag: div
    elements:
      - type: block
        tag: span
        content: foo

that would produce <div><span>foo</span></div> taking this further, it
would be nice if you can specify a text block of sorts:

  - type: block
    tag: div
    elements:
      - type: plaintext
        content: foo
      - type: block
        tag: span
        content: bar
      - type: plaintext
        content: baz

Which would produce <div>foo<span>bar</span>baz</div>
This would mainly be used to generate HTML content that goes within a
form, like warnings or notes about the form inputs.

Does this sound reasonable?
