yup.
imagine: you have a list of countries that are stored somewhere (like a
custom generator out of your app server, or an xml file on the disk )

you have a bean that expects one country out of a list of countries.

so you have your xform statement like this:

<xf:selectOne ref="/country" >

  <xf:choices>
        <item .../>
  </xf:choices>
        
</xf:selectOne>

mow it would be nifty to bind the items via xpath to an existing
document (for instance using the cocoon:/ uri scheme )

you could do it by using an xsp page, thus generating the <item />, but
I think it is such a common idea that it could be good if it is in the
framework - so you don't have to write an xsp page every time.
