Hi,
Once drupal 6 is out I am going to be continuing my development of merging theme(table) to the formapi. I have gotten the #pre_render into the formapi so that we can generate the table from a drupal_render(). I am really against merging theme('table') and formapi for two reasons:
1) I've already written that theme('table') is harmful to themers, in general. I want to see less use of it, not more.
2) I feel very strongly that we do *too* much display-oriented work in fapi and we need to do less. We need to separate that work, not combine it more. Yes, we need to do it in such a way that we retain the power that we have, but right now we are giving the module developer power at the expense of the themer. This is a trend I am actively attempting to reverse.
I am fearing the performance implications...
Yes, that is on my mind as well. But I hope that it is no worse than the the current system, but we will not know that until it is done. Gordon.
Cheers, Gerhard
