The issue is simple. Without uncommenting the code that you will notice in the fiddle, binding to a viewmodel (kendo.observable) that contains a kendo.data.DataSource simply fails.

Why?
Form binding clearly doesn't work the same way as kendoGrid binding, which I have working using a kendo.data.DataSource. Seriously frustrating. Not to mention when I wire this up to a transport with URLs, trying to sync the datasource via the sync() method, after editing data, fails miserably.
Note: the collective opinion on the kendo web ui forums is that anything other than the simplest of scenarios usually fails. I share this opinion.
