Premise #1: XMLForm has great support for XForms and validation, but it uses butt-ugly actions for implementing the Control part of MVC.We had a discussion about half a year ago about how to integrate XMLForm and Flow [1], I proposed a design and booth Ovidiu and Ivelin seemed to approve it. I also spent some time implementing the XMLForm wizard example in the propsed way, and had a working implementation for a short while. Due to non intuitive caching behaviour I succeed in breaking my implementation without noticing it and never got it to work again :(, (debuging flow scripts was a nightmare back then). It would be interesting to give it a new trial, hopefully the framework is alitle bit more mature now. I could also send my broken implementation to the list if anybody is interested.
Premise #2: Control Flow rocks as an MVC (or MVC+) controller.
Conclusion: let's reimplement XMLForm using Flow as the controller and get rid of those actions.
Plan of action: familiarize myself with both frameworks (I just started using flow) and their internals, then start designing and coding. I have a couple weeks' vacation starting Jan 1st and it would be nice to have some nice OS project to work on ;-).
Ivelin, Ovidiu (and everybody else), what do you think?

Ovidiu proposed a small extension [2] of flow script that will simplify back button handling in forms significally.
