My thought is twofold:

1) Silva cares about accessibility
2) I think it's fair to say that going forward, once SilvaViews is dropped for 
all components, the vast majority of forms will be rendered in one place: 
silva.core.views.  Change it there, and it'll be fixed almost everywhere.

Unfortunately we do need to change it in more than one place, (e.g. the 
SilvaView views.)  Changing the visual appearance is not a difficult thing to 
do -- it's already been done for 2.1/2.2 (placing the description below the 
title).

Thought also needs to go into how external sources are expressed -- that's a 
usability nightmare.  But I expect the usage of these to be changing soon 
(more on that in a bit).

Does anyone know of a more current usable forms approach?

peace,
Andy
