Then it might be ideal to refactor and just take the *core XMLForm* out 
of Cocoon as a separate project, like Chaperon and jfor do for example, 
they are hosted on SF with just minimal adapter stuff in the Cocoon 
codebase and use ASF-compatible licenses.

If you could do this first and *then* move the core XMLForm out of 
Cocoon it might be much better technically (=decoupling) and 
community-wise than having an external project than strongly depends on 
Cocoon code and vice-versa.

[ivelin <iv...@apache.org>]

This is what I consider best of both worlds.
At this point I can use some more specific direction?

One way is to maintain the cocoon.action.XMLFormAction and
cocoon.transformation.XMLFormTransformer,
while the rest of the XMLForm code can be isolated.

Other ideas?

Let me correct myself here: if XMLForm is cleanly decoupled from the
rest of Cocoon it does not have to be hosted elsewhere, the code could
stay here with maybe an alternate build for the standalone XMLForm?
This would let you benefit from this community *and* from standalone
users.
