I don't disagree with anything Dave says here. But on the flip side, XML/XSLT is a more marketable skill and looks good on your res.

Advice? My advice to you is to use CF instead of XSLT to render your forms. Unless you work with XSLT all the time, it's a pain. Even if you do, it's a pain. You can choose to represent your form fields in XML or in a relational schema.
