I posted the following already to web-devel at haskell.org but it seems to be
relatively quiet there.

I like to get your advice about a simple library for web form generation and
processing. So far I tried digestive-functors and reform. Both of them are
advertised as being good in separating data from view. However, I am interested
in one-off forms, that is, form data will always be rendered in one way. Thus I
would like to save the efforts to combine data and view after they have been
carefully separated.
Formerly I have also used autolib-cgi:
http://autolat.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/haddock/autolib-cgi-1.2/
It allowed me to generate the form and fetch and validate the data in one
(monadic) go. The blaze-markup type MarkupM is a monad anyway, thus it seems to
be straight-forward to use the monadic results for the data entered to the
form.
Is there a library that supports this style of web form handling?
