Okay. CForms isn't included in a released Cocoon. Sorry for the confusion.

Hah!

No, look at the Woody samples, particularly the binding ones.

Yup, correct. 2.1.5 will have CForms in it, when released.

> P.S. Woody is marked as unstable and therefore it's somehow confusing 

Yup. Unstable in terms of API, not necessarily code quality. Surely a 
rename from Woody to CForms counts as an instability? ;-)

Anyway, Woody/CForms are still under development, and it will take some 
time longer before the developers will be willing to consider its 
interface to be stable. Therefore, if you choose to use it, you'll have 
to be prepared to keep your code up to date as it changes.
