Yeah, in the end it'll create _javascript_ to vaidate numbers vs text -
that parts far off though. Plus if it didnt go to the xsd I would need
an intermedate step to describe which is a text box and which is a
radio button so I figured I might as well go with a standard.

Yeah I have 2 things I am working on one is the form generation thing
and the other is an XSLT that'll take a XMI (a uml exported diagram in
xml) and make CFCs out of it. So I am doing that but in a bit of a
round about way.

Thats why I went with the XSD step :)
I gotta actually work now my boss is given me the evil eye - I'll send
you the sheets to play with - note they are not done
