[Solar-talk] Forms, User roles and access

Wouldn't the way the form renders be a decision of the view? I only ask  
that because if your application changed views later, and in that view  
elements of the form (say buttons, grouped three across) were to be  
rendered vertically instead of horizontally, you would have to change  
application code to render the way you want.

If the elements of the form are known to the view then the view can place  
things where they are supposed to go without futzing with the controller  
code or with the form object itself, instead taking the items the form  
object gives it and putting those items wherever necessary for rendering  
accoring to that view.

Does that make sense or am I just making noise (seriously, because  
sometimes I just don't know about myself).
