My goal with FAPI 2.0 is something like the following :

$node = drupal_request_model('node/add/event'); // provides a pre- 
populated post request.
$node['title'] = 'something';
$node['body'] = 'something else goes here';
$result = drupal_submit_request('node/add/event', $node); // triggers  
all the fapi validation and submission code.

But for all forms.
