parse form data to XML

[Jesse Wu]

Hi Sedov,

I tried XForms but found when the XML model is loaded from a very
large file with many attributes (vary for each element) for each of
the element, the screen editing is not practical. May be there is a
better way to do this using XForms but I could not find a good
example.

Thanks -Jes
