Django somehow does that already: It doesn't stand in your way :)

Given tools like knockoutjs and backbone with mappings between clientside 
and server I don't think that your proposed solution would cover many 
usecases.One would also need hooks to add extra data like normal views do 
with get_context_data etc…

Certainly nothing for Django-core at this time (at least in my personal 
opinion) and perfectly doable as 3-rd party app. Once your app gets 
traction and becomes the defacto-standard to use (more or less like south) 
we will think about including it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not against Django providing a few helpers to make 
ajax heavy apps easier, I just don't think that your current approach will 
reach anything near 80:20 usability (I'd happily be proven wrong). For 
example sending the form as html to the client is probably not something 
everyone wants given the js-templating solutions like mustache etc…

Best regards,
Florian
