+            After registration, you will be able to retrieve an ExtJS form class
+            definition for this form under the URL "<formname>.js". Include this
+            script via a <script> tag just like the "api.js" for Ext.Direct.
+
+            The form class will then be created as Ext.ux.<FormName> and will
+            have a registered xtype of "formname".
+
+            When registering a form, the Provider will automatically generate and
+            export objects and methods for data transfer, so the form will be
+            ready to use.
+
+            To ensure that validation error messages are displayed properly, be
+            sure to call Ext.QuickTips.init() somewhere in your code.
+
+            In order to do extra validation, the Provider checks if your form class
+            has a method called EXT_validate, and if so, calls that method with the
+            request as parameter before calling is_valid() or save(). If EXT_validate
+            returns False, the form will not be saved and an error will be returned
+            instead. EXT_validate should update form.errors before returning False.
