I think about XForm compliance because it's difficult with XMLForm to have a pretty GUI for users. You have to add lot of things and Javascript code in the stylesheet to improve the presentation. It's lot of work and the XSLT language isn't very easy. And it's not very reusable.
Do you think that JXForm is better for this point?

For example, it defines a lot of event handlers whose implementation server-side would require a lot of frequent interactions on the server (think one request a each mouse click in the screen). For a more in-depth analysis on this, you can read my post comparing Woody and XMLForm ([1]) which started the current work on Woody : [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=105881304808076&w=2 >Do you have some information about differences between XMLForm and JXForm and how to >migrate? > IIRC this is mainly a rewrite of the transformer which is faster and updated to the latest XForms element names. The main work should be related to this update of element names. But I'm not the most qualified person to answer this question and there maybe other people that already did this migration.
