Hi Anthony,

It is a little difficult to answer your comments because you are not 
providing much detail. but...

 From one of your previous question about having a great of duplicate 
information - should you code it all up in the final delivery format? I 
would say no.

Say you have a great many user polls. You could mark it up like:

<poll>
  <question>Do you have a grasp on what you are trying to 
accomplish?</question>
  <answers type="yes-no"/>
<!--
  <answers>
   <answer>Yes</answer>
   <answer>No</answer>
  </answers>
-->
</poll>

You could use XSL to transform it out to a dynamic template 
representation so that it is formated in the look and feel you want. the 
transform adds radio button inside a form if the user has not responded. 
Or, it presents poll result if the user has taken it. Something like:

#if (hasTakenPoll($userID))
  show poll formated to dispplay results
#else
  show poll formatted as a form to be submitted
#end
