there are a lot of issues with this a) different browsers and platforms have specific problems, i.e. mac browser puts garbage at the end of a textarea formfield, and i think all input form fields b) have to deal with redisplay of built in entities c) depending if u are directly writing a file or storing the xml in a relational database, u may find problems with either ODBC or native database connector way of dealing with built in entities and entities in general, which once again presents itself when editing d)there is a nice perl script for sending raw xml from a form, which can be email or other forms of transport e) finally the future method of doing input would hopefully be through XForms, of which there is only one known implementation by Mozquito which takes an XForm definition and creates a nice javascript enabled html form that keeps the session values in xml. anecdotally, i found it neccesary to do some handling before and after the form, especially with editing. good luck, jim fuller XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
