This is like the XForms approach too.  Of course, there is all sorts of
layering and unlayering that we can do. In the XForms approach the "model"
really is the schema for the document transfer, so it is not a conceptual
model directly (unless the equivalent conceptual model actually would form a
tree, in which case it is a conceptual model :-).
