Hi, It looks great. I think the stuff you mentioned (schematron transformer, castor, formbeans etc.) and the multiplexer (eg, determine flow of events trough the pipeline based on the outcome of the schematron transformer) proposed by Vadim will provide a way to create even more abstract and reusable form handling in Cocoon.
