Sylvain points out some reasons why he feels XForms is not adequate for the forms requirements of certain kinds of server-based web applications. However, Sylvain's comments apply to XMLForms, which was superceded by JXForms, and was not based on the final specification for XForms. Can anybody comment on whether the limitations of XMLForms that Sylvain referred to are intrinsic to XForms (the final W3C Recommendation version)?
