Is there a standard way of generating cgi-bin pages to edit data structures that are stored in XML, using a DTD or XMLSchema or similar? Suppose I have a DTD that declares 

<!ENTITY Inspection (Reviewer)*>
<!ATTLIST Inspection InName ID #REQUIRED>
<!ENTITY Reviewer>
<!ATTLIST Reviewer 
         ReviewerName ID #REQUIRED
         phoneNo CDATA #REQUIRED>

and an XML structure with the fragment 
<Inspection InName="Build 7">
 <Reviewer ReviewerName="George Metesky" 
    phoneNumber="x3-5392" />
</Inspection>

I want a system that says "Hmmm, there's one reviewer now, but it can be deleted, or another one can be added" and produces the HTML fragment of a table something like 
<tr><td>  Inspection: </td>
     <td colspan="2"><input type="text" name="inspection" 
      value="Build 7"></td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="2">Reviwers</td>
      <td><input type="submit" value="Add another Reviewer">
      </td></tr>
  <tr><td> Reviewer: </td>
     <td><input type="text" name="reviewer1" 
     value="George Metesky">     </td> 
     <td><input type="submit" name="deleteReviewer1"
       value="Delete this Reviewer"></td></tr>

In other words, I want a program that looks at the current XML and the DTD that describes it, and produces HTML forms that are smart about offering to add and delete elements. Similarly, I want to generate HTML with radio-buttons for attributes which the DTD enumerates. And so on.

I'm not hard over on using DTD; I'll learn XMLSchema or whatever if it saves me writing a lot of code.

I spent an afternoon and a morning mostly searching CPAN and didn't find what I was looking for. But maybe these kinds of programs are known by a term of which I'm unaware.

Pointers? Suggestions? or am I approaching the whole problem the wrong way?
Thanks,
