I implemented this now in an update to fox.php:
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Fox

To post replacement variables without them being replaced by a value,
in order for instance to post a fox form defined as a template, use
   {$$$...} instead of {$$...}, i.e.
   {$$$name} instead of {$$name} etc.
in the template.
To be able to post form markup fox needs to have permission to post
directives as well, with
   $EnablePostDirectives = true;

For example one could use a template page for a fox form like

(:fox form1:)
(:input text name:) is (:input select abc[] red:)
(:input select abc[] green:)
(:input select abc[] blue:)(:input submit post Enter:)
(:foxtemplate "{$$$name} is {$$$abc[]} {$$$(date:d.m.Y - H:i)}":)
(:foxend form1:)

You see the various uses of the triple $$$ in the foxtemplate line of the
template.

Comments, suggestions, feedback most welcome!
