That's *NOT* true, Albert..
but we can read from various sources that XFA has been deprecated:
Wikipedia: "The XML Forms Architecture was not standardized as an ISO
standard, and has been deprecated in PDF 2.0." [0]
PDF/A: "Deprecated items include: XFA (incl. NeedsRendering)" [1]
Probably ISO 32000-2 itself? I don't own a copy to check it.
While the XFA specification is a separate document, it is normatively
referenced in ISO 32000-1. Exactly the same way that TrueType, Flate
compression, etc. are referenced.
True for ISO 32000-1 (PDF 1.7), but not for ISO 32000-2 (PDF 2.0), is
it?
I have a hard time to imagine why anyone would want to invest spare time
into this rather nasty mix of PDF and XML now that it's deprecated with
PDF 2.0.

That file uses XFA, XFA is not part of the PDF standard.
Contact your government and tell them they should fix their PDF files
to be standards compliant.
Cheers,
