In your example above you're doing:
bean -> document -> form (and the reverse direction)
but you can actually do:
bean -> form (and the reverse direction)
so the bean replaces the document. This was also what I hinted at with
my form.load(object) and form.save(object) methods: the object can be
either a bean or a DOM-tree.
See also Marc's mail for the status of this.
