XForms and then XSLT is used to translate the XForms to standard HTML such
that standard form fields are submitted. Presumably one could use an XSLT
that just copied the source XForms XML without modification and put that in
the reponse stream for the user agent to process. However, this would
require a UA that supports XForms. Do any mainstream browsers support it?
One could also theoretically write an XSLT that converted the XForms XML to
HTML and included _javascript_ to format the data into the proper XForms
specified data XML file and store that in a form field when the form is
submitted. Would be compliated and not worth the effort, but it seems
technically possible.

Ben, will the planned Xforms functionality in Blackstone allow for the
POSTING of the XML instance document?
Thanks!
