Being able to create and test forms in-line with the process modelling 
efforts (do not have to switch tools/screens/whatever) IMO would be 
great to have.
Ability to make manual changes to the source generated by the Form Build 
is also IMO very important but afaik mariano said that was not easily 
possible to do.
