Here is a small graph of classes as I see them and a description

Builders will make it possible to build a form using different ways, for example by passing just an array as parameter. The default builder will use addElement() (or its QF2 equivalent).

Behaviors will make it possible to switch element type or attributes in many (but not all) cases.

Note on directory structure

To better respect PEAR's coding standards and to prevent the mess which is HTML/QuickForm directory of current PEAR installation, let's use the following structure:

HTML/
  QuickForm2.php # this will have the base class 
  QuickForm2/
    Exception.php # this will contain the defined exceptions
    Factory.php
    Element.php
    Container.php
    Element/
      # this will contain files with elements' classes
    Container/
      # this will contain files with subclasses of Container

The tests/ directory will have the same structure, following the approach of Zend Framework each directory will have an AllTests.php file which will run all tests in directory and its subdirectories.
