Well, we used to do all this in XSLT, which had the drawback of being
quite slow. So instead we opted for a fixed markup output configurable
with CSS. Neither solution is perfect (the current one because of CSS
and CSS implementations deficiencies), but at least this one is
reasonably fast.
Note that besides HTML controls, we use almost strictly <div>, <span>
and <label>. Just do a "view source" of your page in the web browser
to see what it looks like.

Check xforms.css.

Yes it would be nice ;-)
