With the attention that has been focused on the menu system, a number of other areas haven't been able to get as much love until now. There are, however, a number of key features that could make it into Drupal 6. One of the first steps in this suite of changes is eliminating that onerous oddball, the #base property. http://drupal.org/node/128081 does just that, eliminating the long-confusing use of #base in favor of explicit #submit and #validate declarations when forms need to utilize shared submit and validate functions. This means that devs can use the same techniques and structures when defining the original form as they do when altering the form later. It's a good thing, and it eliminates some weird bits in form.inc. Anyone who's interested in helping, please drop in on the issue and test it. It's the first step in a list that includes features like 'unique per-button callbacks' and 'improved multistep handling.' hooray! --Jeff Eaton
