In general yes. The form is easily customizable and you can change the  
structure of the target XML just by changing the makeup of the form.  
The names of the form fields are XPaths that are used to create the  
target XML document. Here's the major piece of that weblog item form.

			<div id="form">
                                 Title:<br />
                                 <input name="/item/title" size="80"  
value="{item/title}"/><br /><br />
                                 <input type="hidden"  
name="#required#/item/title" value="You must provide a title for the  
post."/>

                                 Body:<br />
                                 <textarea  
name="/item/description#markup" rows="15" cols="80"><xsl:value-of  
select="weblog:serialize(item/description/node())"  
disable-output-escaping="yes"/></textarea><br /><br />
                             </div>

The #required# is a validation hint, and the #markup is a processing  
hint.

The details of all of this are changing though as I'm in the process of  
making the admin tools easier to add your own custom entry types. It  
will mostly be driven by XSL, but it won't be any hardcore XSL.
