I haven't done anything with xforms and I'm not entirely sure I understand
your use case. However since the XForms document is written in XML you can
probably use a similar technique to generate forms. Well, I mean you can use
a similar technique in any kind of text template, you're just substituting
values in a text document with values given by another XML element.

If you need further help with what you're working on and it happens to be
too off-topic feel free to ping me off list.
