RE: XML and forms

Hi Pete,

Have you taken a look at Apache Cocoon (cocoon.apache.org). It does exactly
what you need (and also what you have done yourself).

Cocoon includes a Forms framework that is built around the separation of
concerns and uses XML + XSL. (And Cocoon offers a lot other interesting
functionality)

Best

Matthew
