This is okay and probably right for the "right now", but what we (I?)  
really want is to move to forms generated by reusable Horde_View  
widgets and stored with Horde_Rdo, with validation to be refactored  
out of Horde_Form into a separate library (and probably integrated  
with Horde_Rdo).

Right.

> The templates/ dir is still the canonical place for static html snippets.
> (The skeleton has dropped this or maybe git doesn't care about empty dirs)

Using Horde_View partials is preferred to this; they would live in app/views.

> Horde_View extensions live somewhere under lib/

Right.
