That could be a good direction for a Cocoa implementation... though  
I've only seen NSFormCell do one-line text cells, so I'm not sure how  
amenable NSForm would be to larger-height objects like the  
hypothetical AITableViewFormCell or AIMatrixFormCell.

If Andy's first layer of code, from the libpurple callback to Cocoa,  
is clean, it should then be trivial to drop some future Cocoa version  
in place of the WebKit one which exists.  I'd recommend having a  
simple (requestFields --> Cocoa) bridge class which then makes use of  
the view generating & displaying class so as to keep that distinction  
clean and intuitive... but such a recommendation is superfluous given  
that it's pretty much required by a model-view distinction :)
