Then I have a simple request for change to how PmForm implements entering data on a page:

Do not add a line break.

It's much easier to add a line break in a template if you want line breaks between comments or data entered than it is to get rid of it if you want the form to create a continuous bullet list. Case in point:

[@
[[#goingform]]
(:input pmform target=going :)
(:input default request=1:)
(:input default author "{$Author}" :)
Please RSVP for the event:
(:messages:)
Name: (:input text author:)
||width=50%
||(:input radio anchor "I'll be there.":) Yes ||(:input radio anchor "I can't make it.":) No ||(:input radio anchor "I might be there.":) Maybe ||
(:input submit post "Submit":)
(:input end:)
[[#goingformend]]

[[#goingpost]]
(:template defaults where=below :)
(:template require author errmsg="$[Missing name]":)
*"{$$anchor}" ~{$$author}
[[#goingpostend]]
@]

Produces the markup:
(:pmform going:)

*"I might be there." ~crisses

*"I can't make it." ~crisses

*"I'll be there." ~crisses


It's adding an extra newline/return between the bullet points.  I tried this:
*"{$$anchor}" ~{$$author}\\
And it does work, but that makes for sloppy markup and is non-intuitive for people implementing the recipe.  If the extra newline is removed, it leaves formatting up to the form and post templates, as in:

(:pmform going:)
*"I might be there." ~crisses
*"I can't make it." ~crisses
*"I'll be there." ~crisses

Thank you for your time,
