wow... much power, without calling all that module_implements stuff. FormAPI is pretty. there is a difference between pretty and powerful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In this case I feel there is an elegant blend of form and function, not to say it couldn't be more refined, but it is still stinking pretty and if you disagree I'll sock you in the nose!!! ;) In comparison to the hook model where all the modules are scanned through testing if a particular callback exists, and not being able to say stuff like on don't use nodeapi from inline.module on these callbacks in a centralized place, beside whatever admin interface inline.module implements.... I think that specifying the processing for a content item and its life cycle is pretty nice, and much more streamlined. Admittedly in the long run some hooks will still be necessary, but I really like the road formAPI points down, even if we're only at the on-ramp.
