Re: [development] fixing nodeapi : programmatically submitting forms.

if we implement this , you could just do a hook_forms call, and do json conversions by just calling the form callback.

much much simpler.

Indeed. I've done a similar redirection of form submission in the ajaxsubmit.module (part of Javascript Tools), where we set a form element which triggers the submit to be redirected to a JSON callback. It required some fancy footwork to handle previews vs. submits with errors vs. successful submits. Functional, but again the planned approach would simplify AJAX submissions as well.
