nicholas did not really say what he means by "forms". but typically, 
forms are a combination of (1) a template (which may be runtime or baked 
into the media type as in HTML), (2) a set of values (described to some 
extent) that can be populated when submitting the form, and (3) maybe 
some UI info for rendering it (in UI-oriented form languages).

you could look at "URI Template Descriptions" as starting with RFC 6570 
as the standard for templates (1), adding some description structure for 
the variables (2), and leaving any UI stuff (3) as something that could 
be packaged in the extension model, if required.
