Well, nothing in this universe is completely unrelated, but... as far as I can tell, JSR 227 is a binding framework intended to be used for "Java UI rendering technology". XForms is not a Java UI rendering technology. Rather, it is HTML forms on steroids. So it's really like apples and oranges.
The answers to your initial question would be: no, JSR 227 is not similar to XForms and no, it is certainly not a superset of it, and neither is XForms a superset of JSR 227.
I kind of assumed that you wanted to talk about JSR 127, JavaServer Faces (JSF), which has more in common with XForms. But you paste some text from JSR 227 below, so I don't know what to believe.
Anyway, comparing JSF and XForms makes more sense, and the answer to your initial question with 127 instead of 227 would be: yes, JSR 127 (JSF) has similarities with XForms and no, it is not a superset of it, neither is XForms a superset of JSF.
An example of similarity is that if you have an implementation of either, you can build HTML pages containing forms, acquire data from the user, validate it, and store it into a data structure like an object or an XML document.
An example of difference is that JSF is a spec for a Java-based framework that include Java APIs, but XForms is a cross-platform XML vocabulary typically embedded in XHTML (or other languages).
Do you have particular points of comparison that interest you particularly?
