Re: [development] proposal for theming nodes

The ideal would be using both, themeable functions that produce structured data, but any of them used separately would just fix the problem. However, the way to go, thinking big, would be kind of 'generalized form API' that could be useful to build any object -page, block, node..- as structured data and then render it to HTML.

[Adrian just posted a longer version of this ...] yup. our form api lets modules collaboratively build a big nested array and then the API renders the array as HTML. it is a logical extension for our views to be rendered similarly (i.e. $node, profile, etc.).
