You really should be able to convice them to just do a css and not the 
HTML. At least most of the time. It will save them effort.

So you don't need to build simple HTML add/edit forms. But otherwise you 
still need at least a view, often these are different so that you can 
associate different permissions with different parts easily. Schemas 
provide short cuts for this also, takes a few hunderd lines of code and 
makes it into about 20 lines.

At least that's what I got from Jim's tutorial at the sprint. Someone 
else may have a lot more reasons.

Cheers,
Pete
