Hagen,

I am glad that brought this up. This is a discussion of
format/protocol and format of a protocol. HTML forms provide such
vehicle in a very simplistic, but mostly (80/20) complete fashion.

One thing to think about: HTML forms provide a way to specify format
of a application/x-www-url-encoded content type, not text/html. It's a
little backwards, but understandable given the origins of HTML.

So, are you suggesting to provide a way to translate from URL-encoded
pairs into HTML?

Or, are you thinking about determining and documenting common patterns
of using URL-encoded key/value pairs?

Or is it something completely different?
