- Form definition is nailed to the concept of the tabs
- presentation definition is entangled with the model
| FormDefinition separates field/property definitions from the layout definition
- Tabbed layout becomes just a concrete case of the layout definition
- We provide other types of layouting possibilities - HTML/Vaadin declarative layout/Custom Component
 Possibly we introduce an alternative term 'editor' which is more generic than the form
| Benefits - More flexibility
- Possibility to define complex fields with the same definitions that we use for the forms
- i.e. complex fields also become forms
Questions - How to provide compatibility between the current form definitions and the new ones?
- Resolve on programmatic level, i.e. allow special definitions that take the old one and then the app/dialog transforms them into the new ones?
