On multipart forms see http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=FileUploadsWithCocoon in addition, there's an upload example included with the database samples. > that... looks lke XSP is used to process forms. Is there anything I can There are a lot actions related to forms around. Have a look at the XMLForms stuff for example.

One - not necessarily good - way would be to write an input module that calls POI, operates on another module (i.e. raw request parameters) and returns a DOM. But since you plan to use XSL on the output (?) it might not make sense. Perhaps the best way is indeed to write a generator and call it in an extra pipeline.
