Ok, I've figured out a working solution. Any ideas on how to improve it
further?

I captured the part of the view script I wanted to wrap, then simply
rendered the Form decorator with the captured content as the argument:

<?php ob_start(); ?>
<table>
...
</table>
<?php echo $this->taggingForm->renderForm(ob_get_clean()); ?>

It gives the desired result. Is there anything that can be done to
improve the code?

Kind Regards,
