As a user of cocoon, I see this as a very advantageous feature. I am currently using cocoon/xmlform and have been developing with it for about five months now.
Your suggestion matches some of the thoughts I was having at the start of my project while I was becoming accustomed to using the framework. I have taken advantage of the javabean architecture in the sense that I can dynamically grab data from different data sources, but I agree in the simple cases an xml model would be well-suited.
Another suggestion I would have is to allow for multiple models. The W3C spec for xforms has been designed around multiple models; if a second revision of xmlforms is in the works, I would suggest investigating this feature.

Jeremy,
I posted here cause I wanted to know if the users would like that
feature to
be added. I thought the dev list would be more suitable in case of
discussing the way of implementing it.
Since I'm not currently subscribed to the dev list, feel free to cc the
message there if you want to.
Btw, glad you like it.
Thanks.
