---------------------------------------

I am quoting "Mark Lundquist" <lundquist.mark@gmail.com> from mailing list:

>  Is there any XML data type for field?

Unfortunately not.  It sounds like it might be a good idea though, you=20
should submit a feature request via JIRA

If you decide to make an xml datatype, follow the patterns you find in=20
package org.apache.cocoon.forms.datatype.typeimpl and cocoon.xconf. =20
You may find the classes in package org.apache.cocoon.xml (e.g.=20
XMLUtils, StringXMLizable, etc.) to be helpful in implementing your=20
datatype.

Otherwise, just keep the datatype=3D"string" and don't bind it to your=20
XML document, but instead parse the string to a Node in your flowscript=20
and insert/replace it in the document.  Will that work?
