I apologize in advance for the vagueness of this email, I don't have
time to give it a proper answer currently. Hopefully others can help
flesh out the details until I have a bit more time to explain
properly.

The datatypes from yesod-form provide both an Applicative and a Monad
interface. The Applicative interface gives you very terse code at the
cost of constraining your output. Monad will require a bit more typing
but gives you complete freedom of display.
