Thanks for the further, tantalizing hints... what would
be an example of one the "couple of flowscript lines "
that one would need to ensure that XML and not plain
strings were sent through for storage?
Thanks

Wrong :)
a) it works on any number of fields you want, just call it multiple
times.
b) parses that field and returns a DOM. If you had an XML database that
supported documents as native types, you could maybe store that
directly.

You could insert it right after the call to form.showForm(). You could,
for instance, use the forms binding framework for all fields of the
supported datatypes, and manually retrieve and parse just the HTML
fields.
This probably means writng a couple of flowscript lines per each usage
of the form, which is not a big deal, but if you wanted to have
transparent support for this kind of use-case, adding an XML datatype
and convertor to CForms could be a valuable addition to the framework.
It just takes someone with an itch to scratch ;).
