My main concern with this is that "Subform" is neither defined, nor is 
there any guidance as to in what kinds of applications or usage scenarios 
it's likely to be relevant. Meaning that people will use it willy-nilly 
whenever it suits their fancy, meaning lots of inconsistency. If we 
resolved those kinds of issues, I probably wouldn't have any concerns with 
whatever else follows.
