I don't know if that is because XMLForms was removed, or what. If this sample is no longer expected to work, it should probably be marked as such. Too bad; it sounds like a useful thing.) - * Chiba (http://chiba.sourceforge.net/) is a servlet webapp (i.e. like a sibling of Cocoon rather than its child) that implements XForms.

More to come in the way of revised code and docs very shortly." If another release has occurred since 0.1, please correct this wiki page.
