I think Kaldari's approach actually makes sense

the available output formats of HTMLForm. The HTMLForm output formats are
intended holistic for the whole form, rather than requiring a specific
format for each form element. It would be ideal if all elements were output
in the same format (div vs raw vs table), but I think there are instances
where it is acceptable to deviate from that, and this seems like one of
those instances. Given what Kaldari is trying to achieve, I think his
approach is sensible, unless there is a reasonable (relatively
straightforward/simple/elegant) solution for the checkbox matrix that does
not involve wrapping it in a table.
Mhm, makes sense. Honestly I just want to be sure it doesn't break
anything, i.e., if a caller wants div output or raw output, is there any
reason this would be unexpected. I'm asking mainly because I really have no
idea under what circumstances or for what reasons a calling function would
want div/raw format.
