First of all let me state our commitment to help with Oracle starting in August. Now, off for some details :).

Templates: Can we make sure that the we have a common template support per node / subsite / site structure? I'm just concerned that if we use a certain templates e.g. for forms in survey the forms in ETP will look different. Or are we talking about different templates here (aka, template for the structure of the content vs. template for the display of the content).

Why do you need dynamic form generation (and how does it differ from something like survey form generation)? Does it provide the ability to create widgets on the fly? And, if we add new content types, wouldn't we have to think about how we are able to display new types (e.g inline media stream)?

For the MLM we are allowing custom queries and double checking that all variables used in the template for mail generation are returned by the custom query. Would something like this make sense for Uploading of ADP pages (associate an ADP page with a (custom) query).
