They do look kind of similar, don't they?

The differences between saveDataToField and prepareForm:

prepareForm calls _serializeOutputToString, but saveDataToField does a lot 
more messing about including the test to ignore nearly empty pages, and the 
relative link conversion. The significant difference here is that 
_serializeOutputToString returns a complete html document, but Plone only 
wants the contents of the body.

We could make _serializeOutputToString check a config parameter to select 
between returning the whole page or just the body part.

prepareForm takes an id (actually it calls it 'id' but it is a 'name') and 
creates a textarea with that name which it appends onto the form. 
saveDataToField takes a field and just sets its value. It should be pretty 
easy to check that argument and if it is a string create the textarea, but 
if it is a field just use it. It should probably also check if given a name 
that there isn't already a field with that name and not create another if 
there is one. [Query: where does the initial text for kupu come from if the 
textarea doesn't already exist? Plone uses one textarea for the initial 
value and the result]

Added to the growing Plone TODO list.
