- * Validation
+ * <h2>Validation</h2>
  * Each form needs some form of {@link Validator} to trigger the {@link FormField->validate()} methods for each field.
  * You can't disable validator for security reasons, because crucial behaviour like extension checks for file uploads depend on it.
  * The default validator is an instance of {@link RequiredFields}.
  * If you want to enforce serverside-validation to be ignored for a specific {@link FormField},
  * you need to subclass it.
  *
+ * <h2>URL Handling</h2>
+ * The form class extends {@link RequestHandler}, which means it can
+ * be accessed directly through a URL. This can be handy for refreshing
+ * a form by ajax, or even just displaying a single form field.
+ * You can find out the base URL for your form by looking at the
+ * <form action="..."> value. For example, the edit form in the CMS would be located at
+ * "admin/EditForm". This URL will render the form without its surrounding
+ * template when called through GET instead of POST. 
+ * 
+ * By appending to this URL, you can render invidual form elements
+ * through the {@link FormField->FieldHolder()} method.
+ * For example, the "URLSegment" field in a standard CMS form would be
+ * accessible through "admin/EditForm/field/URLSegment/FieldHolder".
