An integrated product needs the class-level, I see my classes as a base for an
integrated product.
I can't see any problem that could prevent us from having a code generation
wizard like in PhpLens or CodeCharge. It would be great to have a PEAR based
open source product.
I think on-line configuration and automatic code generation is possible with
HTML templates, too. I can even think of a one file solution where the file
consists of a php part and an HTML part.

That's the part of the integrated product.

I don't think the Grid classes have to be integrated with the HTML_OOH_From
classes to do this. The wizard simply uses both classes and generates code for
them.
