The problem with XForms is it really doesn't give you a presentation
layer, XForms is structure only. So the "What you see" isn't there.
(Jetform/Accelio now owned by Adobe) had created XFA which specified the
the visual representation of the document as well, but the visualization
was removed in favor of structure, making the assumption that
visualization would be done via XSL or similar conversion at the
document consumer side.

As far as digital signatures on XML forms, and views of the form, there
are better products than using Xforms, because XForm documents are
easily modifed and only the signed sections are signed. However such
products they are much more expensive they are true WYSIWYG/S
