As far as standards are concerned, I am speaking of the forms implementation. I remember at one point it was being built around XForms before that was scrapped. Now however groups are working on adopting that as a standard for webapps: http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-08-10.html
From the discussions I saw, the problem with XForms is that it is client
based. Cocoon is server based.
You can base a server side implementation on the XForms notation though, e.g. instead of Cocoon's CForms definition namespace. The question would be if it is appropriate. But IIRC there is such a project implementing XForms on server side.

There's the Chiba project - http://chiba.sourceforge.net/ - which is rapidly approaching full XForms compliance. There's also an integration project called Chicoon which is an integration between Chiba (which, for example, assumes its documents are on the filesystem) and Cocoon.
There's also OXF, http://orbeon.sourceforge.net/ - which has a server-side XForms processor. Not sure how one might integrate OXF with Cocoon, though, they seem to view Cocoon as a competitor - http://www.orbeon.com/community/cocoon

CForms are really excellent for webapp development, but for some types of XML processing XForms has advantages. Whether it comes from Chicoon, from an OXF/Cocoon integration or from a resuscitated JXForms, the Cocoon+XForms combination hits some targets for which CForms is less than ideal.

Anyone else interested in XForms with Cocoon? - Thomas.
