UPDATE: Agaric did manage to do this. The working code is in our custom wsf_action module used on wsf2008.net. Some related notes are as follows:

How to store a bunch of little variables?

Location.module does it this way, a separate, dynamically produced variable for every field and node type. The value is either 0 (don't display), 1 (display), or 2 (required)

      $workflow_setting = variable_get('location_'. $field_name .'_'. $node->type, $field_name == 'country' ? 1 : 0);

action group node form before setting the weight down

so form data added by translation modules wouldn't be there

Because subform element is not the way...

Just posting this for hysterical posterity... this is the task list that sunk our deadlines:

Dear Ben, Dan,

I have been in Rome all day and came back home late.
I went on the site and was surprised to find that our main priorities are still very behind.

So, to be clear, I am listing them again and would like an answer for each:

1- creation of country "portals" accessible from the home page with country button or other method.
They should be as described in the first powerpoint we sent you, with a map, list of actions, etc.

    $form['place_taxonomy']['#tree'] = TRUE;  // this was so important and so easy to overlook

From Gábor Hojtsy:

if you need real folksonomy support (per user tagging, editing of own tags, personal tag clouds but still powering a common tag set), you need to look into a contributed module. Interestingly there are two similar solutions for the problem: the community_tags module and the taxonomy_user module. Since I need this functionality for a project, I needed to look at them, so here is a rundown of the differences I see from looking at their implementation.
