XForms - how easy is maintenance?

I guess ease of maintenance is a little in the eye of the beholder.

As I work with XForms-containing code it seems to me that XForms, with its 
binding between different parts of the code and the potential for 
event-processing code to be widely separated in large pages, has the 
potential to create many maintenance difficulties.

It reminds me of the tangle that early forms of JavaServer pages could 
produce once they moved beyond the trivial. Obviously the issues aren't 
identical.

It seems to me that XForms has similar potential to be less than easy to 
maintain.

Have others been considering this issue? Any thoughts about approaches which 
can minimise the likely problems?
