Comment:

 I made a proof of concept (check out the examples/BasicForm.php page):

 https://github.com/adcSTUDIO/OnceForm

 Personally, I think that's pretty spiffy. I'll probably build off of this
 further to throw some proofs together that can automatically wire up
 settings, custom post types, or other meta data stuff in WordPress.

 I should be able to replace the boilerplate for almost the full turnaround
 - start by defining the fields as HTML5 (with requirements and
 validation), set some variables for metadata names (and groupings), and
 then just let the WPOnceForm handle the form postback, the
 sanity/security/validation, and store the data - all of that almost
 completely automatic, driven off of an HTML5 form template.
