[development] FormHelp Module Idea - name that module

[David Metzler]

Ok this weekend, I coded up a new module and am ready to release/ 
commit it.  I evaluated "help tips" and "form filter" but they seemed  
to be going in different directions, so I think I'm ready to commit a  
new module.    Currently, this module is named formeditor, but before  
I commit, I thought I'd get some input on what to call it.

The new module has the following functionality:
* Adds header and footer markup fields to each form for providing  
additional docs.
* Lets site administrator alter the text in any "#title",  
"#description" field on a form.
* Lets site admins alter the '#value' attribute of any markup field  
on a form.

Other ideas for names?

Requests to merge this with another project (see aggregator  
discussion) :).

Thanks,

Dave
