Newbie question - xml driven data entry

Hello comp.text.xml,

I'm *just* starting to learn XML and related friends, and I've had an 
idea that I'd like to pursure, but an not sure if it's possible, 
practical, been done before, etc.  The idea is to have a data collection 
  application that was driven by a DTD or schema (or a collection of 
them) - ie, I'd like to have a generic framework that would take a DTD, 
and decide what the operator could enter, instead of having to code into 
the application the structure of the data.

All the examples, tutorials, etc, that I've seen so far employ DTDs and 
schemas to verify existing data once it's all entered.  I'd like to turn 
this on its head a little, and only ask for data that follows the 
DTD/schema.

What do you think?  I've tried to find out more before posting, but my 
brief scans haven't revealed much.

Ghee
