After being poked by AC to go the extra mile, I have made available three of the list template examples for both the STS (WSS) and SPSTOC (portal) site definitions. I didn't do a form example because that one is very particular to an individual's needs and I could provide little value including a template as a starting point.
Hope this gives someone a leg up and decreases your time to market. :-)
