Reminds me of a perl module by Matt Sergeant. It has a nice
method of getting from form input to xml (and vice versa) using xpath. 
I quite liked the idea. 
(see http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/CGI-XMLForm/README.html)
BTW his more recent Axkit could contain some other neat ideas 
(see http://www.axkit.org)
