    Hi Adrian

    Interesting idea, but I'm not clear about exactly what problem it is
    solving. Is it:

    * increase development speed of creating forms
    * allow end user (with XML knowledge) to define their own form layout
    * as a type of DirectToSwing (WebObjects style concept) quick way to
    mock up applications

    The main issue I foresee is having the flexibility to lay out edit
    forms exactly as required. Taken to the extreme, you could end up
    creating something like Matisse where the entire form design is
    stored in XML (although you go further with the data binding of
    course). Your example has a very simple box layout style design - do
    you intend to take that much further?

    Cheers
