Difference between the iwov and xml as a dcr-type?

If you specify the dcr-type ="iwov" in the Formspublisher guide it is specified that the presentation template would use name attribute for getting the item values.
If the dcr-type ="xml" then the presentation template would use the pathid for getting the item values.

Can anybody please clarify the difference between the usage of iwov and xml?

There are numerous IWOV/XML differences, in elements' addressing, DCT coding (XPATH abbreviation), Labels processing and the like.
They all stem from one fundamental fact: XML Type allows (forces in fact!) you, TS Developer to decide/declare your DCR (not DCT!) structure.
With IWOV Type DCR Structure is assigned by TS, it conforms to rudimentary dcr4.5.dtd.

XML Type can be a big nuisance ("I have enough problems with DCT, why should I care about DCR too?!") or it can be a big advantage:
"I receive XML Files through External Data Feed, why can't I simply consider them DCRs without transforming to stupid dcr4.5?!"

Depends on what you want...

the value would be output of dcr-type="iwov".

the value would be output of dcr-type="xml"
[/HTML]

It means that while having the dcr type as iwov the element name and attributes name is already defined by interwoven and could not be changed, however dcr type as xml means that it could give you an customized structure output.
