I think this change is fine ... originally ad_form didn't come close to covering all of the execution possibilities covered by the form builder but now that we have so many on-this after-that options that most cases should be easy enough to handle within an ad_form declaration.

As far as splitting it into two ... offhand I have no strong feeling one way or the other.

I have recently implemented a (hacky) subset of ad_form in perl/Mason and did exactly the two stage thing Lars suggests. Not only does it actually make the proc logic simpler, it makes the whole process much more transparent to the developer.

Whole the whole benefit of ad_form is that it's magic does so much for you, sometimes there can be too much magic ;)
