I do something along these lines by converting the DTD to RelaxNG format
with trang. Then you can process the rng schema through an xsl processor
(e.g. XML::LibXSLT.pm) to generate the form.

You can use the "document()" function in libxslt along w/ xpath to
merge values from a data document into the output form.
