heya. just testing berin's database actions out - good stuff! let me make
sure i'm following the flow control properly - when a request for
/forms/employee received, c2 checks to see if there's a request parameter
named cocoon-action. if so, it fires off the proper action. in any case,
it'll render the edit employee(s) form. correct so far?

the database manipulation actions rely on a form-descriptor parameter
which gives some meta-information about the table(s) in question, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<employee>
  <connection>personnel</connection>
  <table name="employee_table">
    <keys>
      <key param="employee" dbcol="id" type="int" mode="manual"/>
    </keys>
    <values>
      <value param="name" dbcol="name" type="string"/>
      <value param="department" dbcol="department_id" type="int"/>
    </values>
  </table>
</employee>

yes?

what's the benefit of grouping the actions together into an action set?
