I did, in former professionnal lives.
Thinking back about it, I can draw two conclusions :
1. CSS is still far from allowing an existing insurance or financial
form to be online because it does not allow to position a given
element in function of the position of any other arbitrary element.
Please take a look at [1] to understand what I mean.
2. the last 2 things an insurance or financial organization putting
an application online wants are
a. a forms language so complex only an expensive contractor is able
to maintain it
b. a forms language with a spirit different from the main content
language's
I have zillions of real-life examples.
