Another example in the same vein, from 2001:

http://www.noaatech2002.noaa.gov/abstract_21.html

I created a series (dozens) of online questionnaires about various 
weather satellite instruments (for NOAA) by extracting their parameters 
from the database as XML, and using a series of xslt stylesheets along 
with xml templates to create the HTML for each questionnaire, along with 
database CREATE TABLE scripts for capturing the returned questionnaire data.
