 How similar? If it is eCommerce then perhaps we could work together?
 What do you mean by consolidation vs. guideline?

 Say what? What is i18n?

 I am applying a pattern to each form. I think it is neat, tidy and
 flexible. It is easy to develop seperately the parts of a new form from
 a blank form template. The form handling is about the only part of my
 application that I am really happy with. Perhaps if we decide to have a
 sample application I can explain more after strip the bells and
 whistles from my code.
