I'm wondering to what extent customization of a SWF for a given client needs to be handled at compile time. Runtime setting of the properties of UI elements, such as their visibility, based upon the XML dataset could handle a wide range of customization requirements. I haven't used CForms yet, it sounds like the binding of these components on the server-side would more frequently result in the creation of unique LZX source. I'm not suggesting that we don't need a Laszlo serializer, it sounds like a good idea, interested in getting a better idea of cases in which it would be useful to handle per-client variation through creation of unique LZX.
