And I want to build on that for FAPI 2.0

You define the fields that are in your form, then you place the  
widgets where you
want them in the form structure (ie: add fieldsets, tables, etc).

Apart from the database backend that cck provides, all the validation  
and rounding and
all that would be re-usable by fapi.
