Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you controlled both the models and forms but wanted to enforce consistency. If you don't control the models (like FlatPage), I presume you control the forms then?You can do it then with a custom ModelForm subclass that overrides some of the building behaviour.
You'd have to subclass ModelFormMetaclass but it seems doable to me - you can customize the form class after ModelFormMetaclass has built it, by replacing any form fields that have been built with the ones you like.
